Personal statement

Film has been my passion ever since a young age, I take pride in developing

a moving image/visual art that I can show to an audience. I am a very

motivated and practical with the ability to learn new skills quickly. I

have many years of experience and I am very confident in approaching

equipment as well as new equipment. I am reliable and have good

communication skills, with the ability to adapt my style to suit the needs

of the team I'm working with. I have extremely well developed interpersonal

skills, enabling me to work well as part of a team, but I am just as

confident working under my own initiative. I work well under pressure and

take pride in consistently meeting deadlines because I understand how time

can be very delicate in the film industry.
