CHARLIE HOOD

Bristol

Summary

Having recently sold my business I have returned to Bristol to pursue my passions in events and videography.

Summers have been spent working with Trago Studio as a production assistant, camera operator and video editor.

Experience in multimedia content creation, branding and digital video production.

I am looking for an opportunity to gain more industry experience where I can develop the skills I have into an exciting and rewarding full time career.

I'm organised, friendly, hardworking, creative and a practical problem solver.
