HOBBIES: I regularly train in Mai Tai Kickboxing but also partake in many sports including skiing, swimming, chess and pool. I enjoy reading books, watching films and live music events as well as festivals and will take any excuse to ride my motorbike anywhere.
I have become an active member in Croydon Film Club whom supports the production of fellow members short films or projects. We have recently begun setting up a screening room where we can showcase work and hold events. We are currently working towards a local film festival for Croydon and neighboring areas.
I live an active life and with any task or interest I prefer to get stuck in the thick of it rather than standing on the boundaries, though I do value a lazy Sunday in bed once in a while.
OTHER INFORMATION: For many years I have been interested in a career in the Film, television and media industry, focusing my university years to off-line editing. I am currently trained in software that includes; Avid, Final Cut Pro and Premier Pro. I am also skilled with other tools such as Sound Track Pro, Pro Tools, Motion and After Effects as well as experienced in Photoshop.
Upon graduating from University I have co-founded an amateur production company entitled “Average Productions” which is currently a non-profit organization. We regularly enter film competitions and have been shortlisted in local and national competitions on several occasions. We produce a lot of promo videos for companies and music videos for up and coming talent. More recently we have been setting up an amateur theatre for fresh talent. I have also previously been an assistant VJ for a live entertainments company “Void” who have provided light displays for multiple clubs and events.
More recently I have joined a Motorbike club called Insomniacs mostly consisting of old friends where we go on outings around the country such as Stonehenge or Brighton but also through London at night or just Aces café in Box Hill.
