Summary
Enthusiastic, freelance film producer, editor, videographer eager to join, grow, and contribute to team success through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. Clear understanding of close to all areas of video production and diligently self-taught in many aspects of film production and technicalities. Motivated to learn, grow and excel within an environment of like-minded individuals who seek to transform and evolve in an array of commercial and creative projects. Very much a listener and problem solver who seeks to give the very best of the best that can be achieved and can deliberate quickly and without fuss in fast-paced and high pressure environments, including within budget constraints and anticipated contingencies. If I am unsure or don't know the answer to something I'll seek help and advice. I never settle for less, and for me, it's not about clocking in 8 - 5, it's about getting the job done.
