Friendly and positive team player with strong hands-on experience supporting UK film and TV productions as a grip, including safe operation of heavy camera equipment in fast-paced, time-critical environments. Comfortable working long hours on my feet, outdoors in all weather and collaborating efficiently with multiple departments. Detail-oriented and safety-focused, bringing creative problem-solving under pressure and a track record of responsible equipment handling to protect cast, crew and gear. Also experienced in stills photography and festival support roles, with a strong technical background in cinematography and multimedia production. During my studies and in my free time I enjoy editing videos, from travelling content to covering events as well as narrative stories. I'd like to expand my portfolio and gain more experience editing for clients.
