I worked in different key roles at the Coventry Phoenix Film Festival for two consecutive years. Festival curation, ushering, camera operating and photography are the four main job titles I secured while working. I took the time to watch as many of the film submissions to narrow down the perfect films for the festival. Welcoming guests warmly and creating a positive first impression was a great success when ushering. I took part in taking candid videography and photography for various social media accounts connected to the festival. I wrote professional emails to secure my position and demonstrated excellent communication.
