Summary
I am pursuing my certificate in higher education in BA (HONS) Practical Film Making. Working as a gymnastics coach since I was 15 has given me confidence in coaching and directing people. I am used to being high energy, a problem solver and organised. When it comes down to lesson planning for work or making plans for projects at Film School whether I am making shooting schedules, lighting plans or storyboarding I am able to do all of these things with confidence and detail keeping myself, students and peers organised. I ask questions I am eager to learn and adapt to different situations and people. I am passionate about writing and film making and im eager to learn more and apply myself to more projects in the film industry.
