About
Film Forward 2023 Participant
I am an experienced assistant director in HETV and film with over fourteen years’ credited experience across many genres. I am keen to bring this experience to the production team and would like to move into production management. I pride myself in my efficiency, organisation and deft communication skills, and excel in managing multiple diverse and wide-ranging tasks and responsibilities, overseeing production schedules and deliverables, while continually maintaining an effective leadership style and people engagement. With an overriding passion for filmmaking, combined with core attributes of resilience, integrity, flexibility, and a practical can- do attitude.
