CAREER SUMMARY

I am experienced and skilled at performing several tasks in film and video production offices. In the area of pre-production for projects I have completed tasks and documents such as; short and feature screenplays, shot lists, schedules, budgets, lined scripts, overhead diagrams, and production crew contacts needed for collaboration. In film and video production I have worked on several low budget shoots and class projects performing job titles such as; actor, boom operator, location sound recorder, set designer, gaffer, key grip, and lighting technician. I am also experienced in the area of post-production, completing several projects using the programs Final Cut Pro and Avid. With post-production sound design being my skilled job of choice I am always open to work on other areas and stages of film and video production. I naturally maintain a very humble and professional work ethic with all associates, employees, and clients. I am also willing to relocate and/or travel outside of the state or country if necessary.
