Hi, I’m Jack Carlin. I’m a master’s graduate with over eight years of experience in TV production, filmmaking, and media. My practical work spans Channel 4, freelance production, and writing/directing/co-producing short films that have been featured in Starburst magazine and shown at HOME Cinema. I excel in screenwriting, pre- and post-production, and I’ve developed leadership and collaborative skills through coordinating teams, delivering on tight schedules, and driving meetings with stakeholders. Recently I completed an MA in Writing for Script and Screen, which has sharpened my ability to read and write screenplays, synopses, and treatments with industry-standard efficiency. My Channel 4 experience strengthened my team leadership, stakeholder communication, project coordination, and face-to-face and remote collaboration. I took a travel gap and am now eager to bring creativity and strong workload management to a new role in television and media.
