Production Resume
I have been working as a freelance filmmaker for around 5 years now. Whether it's working as a PA,
videographer, editor, assistant director, or sound mixer, I love making movies.
I have been told by my supervisor on Ripple Effects that I have a natural ability to be a
PA because I know how to manage people's needs and am able to quickly turn around tasks. I also
started out as an office PA for an ION Television feature film and moved up the ranks as Key PA
and Swing PA/Snow FX.
I am willing to pick up new positions just so that I can learn to be a director. I always say
what makes a good director is one that knows how to talk to those they are directing. I also try to
bring my leadership skills into smaller positions and bring the initiative to anything I do.
I have a passion for filmmaking in a way that makes me give every job I do 200% effort
because I want to improve every skill I can get while on set. It helps that I've been working in
almost every position of film since the start of college, learning the ins and outs and creating a
knowledge base that helps everyone in production.
If you are looking for someone who is passionate, willing to learn, and able to give you
good results, I am the guy you're looking for.
