QUALIFICATIONS
I have a strong knowledge and passion for
the Australian film and television industry. After completing an Advanced
Diploma of Film and Television Production at RMIT I have worked in the camera
and lighting departments for various independent media, corporate and commercial
production companies as well as on the sets of high quality short films through
RMIT and the VCA. These positions have given me hands on experience with
professional equipment, as well as experiencing the expectations of working
within a professional team.
As an independent filmmaker I have had
great experience in scripting, shooting and editing both film and digital video.
I have overseen productions from the early development stages of pre-production
through to post production and final print. I have contributed in various roles,
including writer, director and cinematographer for various commercial
media; government funded projects, as well as self commissioned pieces. I
have largely had experience in short form story telling through short films as
well as working on the sets of television commercials. In 2008 my short film
‘epilogue’ achieved some minor success and recognition. The film was short
listed in the ‘Shorts Outback Film Festival’ and took part in its sister
festival in England, the prestigious ‘Rushes Soho Shorts Festival’ in which
sixteen films were chosen to represent new and up coming talent from
Australia.
In regards to documentary experience, I have worked on a
visual audit commissioned by the Australian Government Human Resources
Department, in which I was able to draw on my experience from completing a three
year Advanced Diploma of Film and Television Production at RMIT which included
the process of documentary film making. Prior to this I have also completed
an intensive short course of Documentary and Video Production.
I am
confident to work both independently as well as within a team environment. I
love collaborating with other creative people to work towards a common
goal. I am hard working, enthusiastic and
reliable.
