Summary

A filmmaker with a passion for creating engaging and impactful stories through the medium of film.

I have experience in various aspects of filmmaking, such as video editing, film directing, acting and theatre directing.

I have edited videos for a variety of different purposes and audiences, such as commercial advertising, corporate videos, wedding videos, short films and more.

I have written and directed several of my own short films and have also acted in over 25 theatre productions, both in principle and supporting roles.

I have also directed some theatre productions, applying my skills in storytelling, visual composition and performance direction. I am always eager to learn new techniques and technologies to enhance my filmmaking abilities.

I am looking for opportunities to work on challenging and creative projects that will allow me to showcase my skills and develop as a filmmaker.
