Experienced filmmaker with 15+ years directing, producing and editing short docs and branded content at This Film. Now pivoting to on-set work in TV and film. My transferable skills include juggling schedules, managing contributors and crews, and keeping things moving with good humour, energy and focus. I can bring strong organisational skills, clear communication and a calm, can-do attitude to set. I’m eager to learn, quick to adapt, and can’t wait to throw myself into the energy of life on set as a runner or trainee AD.• Excellent communication with contributors, cast and crew• Highly organised: managing tight deadlines, budgets and shoot logistics• Calm under pressure, quick-thinking, enthusiastic team player• Confident working long days, outdoors, on my feet and in all weathers• Proficient in DaVinci Studio, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Previs Pro• Basic Unreal Engine & virtual production experience (Production Park)• Experienced self-shooter with full kit• City & Guilds Child Licensing• Screen Yorkshire Alumni 2025
I’m particularly drawn to the AD department because of its central role in keeping production running efficiently and supporting everyone on set. With my background in managing people and logistics under pressure, I know I can be a reliable, proactive and creative presence from day one.
