I AM A HANDS ON, DETAIL FOCUSSED CREATIVE, PASSIONATE ABOUT COLLABORATING WITH FILMMAKERS TO RESEARCH, CONCEPTUALISE & FLESH OUT THEIR STORIES AUTHENTICALLY ON SCREEN.

I GENUINELY GET FIRED UP BY WORKING WITH OTHERS IN A COLLECTIVE ENVIRONMENT TO CREATE LAYERED, VISUALLY ENGAGING & EMOTION ENVOKING IMAGERY & ENVIRONMENTS TO COMMUNICATE & ENGAGE AUDIENCES.

I GUESS I WOULD SAY THAT I AM CURIOUS BY NATURE & FIND MYSELF VERY FASCINATED BY THE PSYCHOLOGY OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION & IN PARTICULAR, IT’S USE IN FILM. I LOVE HOW THE INTRODUCTION OF A CHARACTER IS LARGELY CONVEYED BY THE WHAT APPEARS IN FRAME AS THEIR ENVIRONMENT & THE “UNNOTICED” ELEMENTS & DETAILS THAT SPEAK TO US SUBCONSCIOUSLY. WHETHER IT BE THROUGH THE USE OF COLOUR THEORY, DETAILED ACCURATE OR ABSTRACT SET DRESSING & PROP USE, ARCHITECTURE STYLES & LOCATION. I AM INTERESTED IN IT ALL.

NOW IN MY LATE 30’S, I BRING WITH ME OVER A DECADE OF PROFESSIONAL ON-SET EXPERIENCE (BOTH IN FRONT OF & BEHIND THE CAMERA), A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF “SETTIQUETTE” & INDUSTRY PROTOCOLS, THE ABILITY TO ACCURATELY TAKE DIRECTION, RESPECT OTHER’S ARTISTIC SPACE, INTERPRET & SUCCESSFULLY COMMUNICATE A DIRECTORS VISION WITHIN A TEAM, ANTICIPATE ISSUES BEFORE THEY ARISE & IMPLEMENT BACK UP PLANS TO ENSURE PRODUCTION KEEPS RUNNING. IN MY CURRENT DAY-TO-DAY OF EVENT MANAGEMENT, I WEAR A LOT OF DIFFERENT HATS - I’M A PROBLEM-SOLVING, BUDGET-SQUEEZING, SYSTEM-JUGGLING NINJA.

IF YOU CHECK OUT MY FULL CV, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE ROLES HAVE ALWAYS HAD A COORDINATION ELEMENT TO IT LARGE-SCALE EVENT MANAGEMENT, STUDIO/OFFICE ADMINISTRATION & EXECUTIVE ASSISTANCE, ALL PEOPLE CENTRIC CUSTOMER SERVICE-BASED ROLES.

I HAVE WORKED ACROSS VARIED INDUSTRIES FROM: ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR DESIGN, FASHION, CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING, THROUGH TO CORPORATE & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

A LARGE MAJORITY OF MY EMPLOYMENT OUTSIDE OF THE FILM INDUSTRY HAS BEEN IN TEMPORARY OR PROJECT-BASED ROLES WHILST I JUGGLED ACTING GIGS, TRAVEL & FAMILY LIFE. I PREFER WORKING THIS WAY & I HAVE FOUND THAT IT HAS HELPED ME TO GAIN THE EXPERIENCE TO ADAPT EASILY TO CHANGING SITUATIONS, REMAIN CALM IN PRESSURISED SITUATIONS & RELATE WELL TO ALL PEOPLE.

SO YES, I TOOK A FILM INDUSTRY HIATUS, WORKED THE CORPORATE 9-5, FOCUSSED ON FAMILY LIFE & WELL… LIFE ISNT THE SAME. I MISS THE CAMARADERIE, THE ARTISTIC COLLABORATION & THE PRESSURE COOKER REACTIVE OF FILM LIFE... I WANT BACK IN.

I’M ROLLING MY SLEEVES UP & LOOKING TO RETURN TO THE FILM INDUSTRY IN ONE OF THE BELOW CREWING CAPACITIES:

ART DEPARTMENT COORDINATION SET DRESSING & BUYING STAND BY- PROPS RESOURCING & CREATION PRODUCTION & ART DEPARTMENT RUNNING
