About me
I would like to be considered for this role and believe I fit the bill in terms of the attributes you require from the right candidate. As an enthusiastic, friendly, solutions focussed production assistant/runner, I have experience in all the usual post production day to day tasks from making excellent tea through to meeting and greeting clients, organising meetings, managing diaries, schedules, doing in-depth research, using Final cut Pro, Photoshop, Ireq, File Manager as well as numerous other skills.
My last job was with Double Negative, the global visual effects company in Soho, where I was responsible for co-ordination duties including managing call-sheets and input of shooting data entries, discussions between producers, artists and clients over the finalisation of shots through daily processes, as well as many other duties. So I am well-versed in many areas already associated with a position such as this.
Production is my preferred career route and I am keen to learn and broaden my experience, skills and network within the industry. I am available for immediate interview and work, can supply two relevant references and have my own car. A cv is attached.
