Crew Listing


Description

I have worked directly for productions in TV drama and Features in Locations roles since October 2020 while also freelancing with the Kent Film Office and The Historic Dockyard Chatham on an ad hoc basis since 2017. Previously I was film officer for Leeds Castle for 2.5 years. I regularly take on Location Scouting work both on location and desk research. I've also worked on a handful of TV Commercials and Music Videos.

I have an excellent working knowledge of film permitting with councils including traffic management with Highways, liaising with location owners, briefing and reviewing risk assessments, reviewing and editing contracts and insurances as well as plenty of on set and unit base experience on approximately 50 productions since 2014. I also have specialist knowledge and experience of heritage properties and an excellent understanding of health and safety. I recently ran a training course on heritage locations and chair the Kent Heritage Filming Group.

As a Public Relations professional I have 18 years prior experience in managing film crews on locations from superyachts to motor racing circuits to air shows to castles including corporate, TV commercials, factual and entertainment TV and feature films. I am hard working and adaptable with experience of all media formats. Excellent communicator and fixer on set and during prep and strike. Also well suited to location or production coordinator roles.
