Skills In addition to my experience creating independent short films, I typically undertake leadership roles as part of my degree’s practical projects. I’ve worked on several assessed short film projects, including a TV studio scene rehearsed and then filmed live. Each project has required me to work efficiently and productively with cast and crews of multiple people. Recently, I have taken the role of assistant director for several dissertation-level films. My efficiency to direct and work on a set with teams of people is continuously improving as I add to my work experience and portfolio. IT and Software
