Summary

I am a driven, creative and innovative individual who enjoys crafting my own ideas and working to help solve problems.

I am a warm and friendly person who is great with communicating to people, I love helping others and providing great customer service to those who need it. I am open and very easy to talk to, I can communicate quickly,clearly and efficiently to make sure that the person who I'm talking to understands me fully and clearly.

My work at university has helped me out tremendously in working in a team, as a filmmaker I understand how important roles and hierarchy is to make sure that any given task which needs to be completed, can be done so in an efficient manner.

If needed to work in a team; I take all directions & follow them down to the word whilst still being able to use my own initiative when required. I can also function well as a leader of a project or as an asset to the group.

Also, I operate well in busy & stressful environments, my experiences range from live broadcast programming which has been watched by over a thousand people to creating and managing personal projects for clients which I have sought out of my own accord. I thrive on pressure and challenges which give me an extra motivational kick in order to get the job done to a satisfactory effect.

The first factory I was in charge of making sure that the line I was working on operated smoothly and had no instances of stopping to make the daily quota. I also had a individual position in placing product on a fast moving line which was passed along to other individuals with their unique product which was all packaged in separate boxes.

My peers and tutors noted my enthusiasm and commitment, voting me MVP.

In my second year I was tasked with making a 5-minute short film which I co-wrote, directed and Co-Produced. It has been submitted and accepted to a competition with a grand prize of £2500.

Another task was a negotiated media project of which I made a Documentary on Polish War cinema which I alone planned, directed, shot, audio engineered and edited.

As of my third year, I am making a 10-minute short film which I’ve written and are set to direct. As part of my dissertation I am making a self-produced documentary which delves into the ramifications of Brexit on the UK TV and Screen Sector.


Home
When not watching movies, I’m highly interested in cooking, I live with a friend and my girlfriend and each and every day I am the designated cook for the flat. I love to cook a variety of dishes but mainly east asian foods are my specialty. I love seeing my friends enjoy the food I make for them and seeing them satisfied after my service.


My other hobby is also a responsibility, which is caring for my cat. My mother found him 8 years ago and I have adopted him recently caring for his needs and making sure he is as happy as he makes me.
