I am an early career film graduate looking to break into the industry. I studied English literature as an undergraduate and Film; Theory and Practice at Master's, this developed my considerable analytical skills and gave me a broad knowledge of film, television, literature and theatre. My written and verbal communication is well honed and I am able to communicate with people from a variety of backgrounds. My research skills are excellent and these skills are supported by a methodical organisational approach to everything I do.I am well versed in Microsoft suite, Canva, Yesplan (Venue management system), Spektrix (point on sale system), Wordpress, Wix, and some Adobe software.My experience directing for the Shakespeare Society was invaluable. Two of the productions I directed and assistant directed, Macbeth and Hamlet, were shortlisted and received a commended for Best Drama and Best Dramatic Performance at the National Student Television Awards. I was also backstage committee member for two consecutive years, providing me with a good understanding of the technical disciplines that go into live productions and different disciplines across teams.During my MA in film production, I wrote the screenplay, was cinematographer, and assistant director on the short film our team produced. I enjoy the visual dynamics of production, and won the national photography competition 'Only in the North' which was judged by the internationally renowned photographer, Martin Parr. I also made a series of short films, which stuck to set briefs and strict time limits.My experience making student films and as a runner on the short film ‘Love Spell’ expanded my knowledge about how actors engage with the processes and people around them on set.
