Resume

Thank you for taking a moment to review my resume. Having returned from the United States having worked for 8 years in the Feature Film, Commercials and Internet Industry I was exposed to acclaimed Talent and the Hollywood process I believe that I have much to offer as a technician, a conceptual creative and edge filmmaker being particularly aware to the aesthetics of 'Direct Cinema' movement, storyline, and high cinematographic stylistics.
