About: 
Hi, peace and love to all and thanks for reading. hope you're ok.
I consider my experience to be great and unusual for the film industry. I was a tea-boy on Eyes Wide Shut, did a degree (Ssshh) and have worked as Assistant to Producers, Directors and 2 HOPs. I stepped away from being trained as a Producer, as i did not think i had enough actual experience of film-making to make a ggod one. I have also worked on development side, reading and re-writing. Currently I am focusing on being a great AD. Basically it can be argued that i have worked for the best people that the UK has had to offer.
Personally I am in the process of attracting financing for a couple of my own projects. Too many people have told me that i should be a producer, however at the end of the day I want to produce, direct and write my own stuff. Current project is an Awesome Werewolf film. Just wait.
I have Head Office experience/ financing experience and now and more enjoyably have considerable Floor experience and am looking forward to being a 3rd on the big stuff and from a 1st down on the smaller stuff. Short films for example.
