Hello,

It is with great pleasure and appreciation that you have taken the time to review my application. I believe that with my education and experience, I will be a addition to your team.

In the fall of 2016, I began studying Radio Broadcasting and Journalism at Henrico County’s career and technical education school. Here, I learned the basics of recording and mixing. Journalism in the field of broadcasting laid the groundwork for my growth in creative writing. I enrolled in the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in the spring of 2019. While at AMDA, I studied various acting techniques such as Stanaslovski’s Method, Stella Adler, Meisner, and Chekov. Other areas of study include laban analysis, Alexander techniques, and voice production and speech.

Greek, English, French, and Italian influences on American literature were the focal point of the study of history of art and entertainment. Subjects include Commedia dell’arte, Moliere, Euripides, And multiple english art eras. This was met the the analyzation of the impact that historical events had on entertainment.

While AMDA is a performing arts college, it did train me in film production with multiple on-camera classes. Film courses allowed me to gain a proper grasp of directing and producing. Preparation of shotlists, set and stage management, lighting, and set design are all well studied areas of my expertise.

Since graduating in the summer of 2020, I have worked in close relation with Yellow Rain Productions of Los Angeles, California. Yellow Rain is a multimedia production company with whom I have worked various jobs such as casting director, assistant director, and writers room assistant. The projects of which I’ve had significant contributions are “Forgotten Writers Club (2020),” “Blight (2021),” and “All The Men’s Hangers (2022).” In the summer of 2022, I starred in the stage play “The Men That Stole My Soul.”

I look forward to speaking further with you about future employment opportunities. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

Cato “C.K.” Carter
