Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. I have a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of media production and post production. I received my formal training at the Film School of Pretoria, and is a very capable and accomplished videographer, D.O.P (Lighting Cameraman), scriptwriter and broadcast editor. I am self-starter capable of independently producing high quality broadcast and media material, and having successfully done so on numerous occasions on high profile projects, I am confident in my ability and that my involvement in your project/company will be advantageous. When filming a subject I shoots for the editor, and pride myself on quality lighting and sound audio production practices.

Since 2003 I have been working as a freelance agent, managing my own company called
Real World Productions

Event Management is one of my "Serious Hobbies" hosting public "Pop-Up" food and entertainment evenings with my social club called Mess & Co. My training, which includes Musical Theatre and Art, has left me with a firm grasp on giving direction, making me highly capable in areas such as sound, direction, staging, stagecraft, lighting design, placement and plotting. This has also taught me how to work with people and get the best out of them. My artistic and creative capabilities facilitate in original and creative thinking, conceptualisation and visual design. My knowledge of vocal production makes me an excellent public speaker. Managerial, administrative and communication skills are further attributes that makes me a definite asset to any project. I am also a passionate chef and food aficionado and blog about it "just for fun" on Foodie SA. In 2017 I also undertook to advance my education and susessfully complete a post graduate Advanced Diploma in Project Managment at Academia - Centurion.

I am character driven and service orientated. I am an intelligent, presentable and well spoken individual - level headed, pragmatic, responsible and reliable. Even though I do not compromise on what is required, I pride myself on keeping clients, employers, service providers and team members satisfied in my manner, as well as the work I produce.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to work through my resume to gage wether my skill set will suit your needs.

Regards.
