Skills: 

With a strong background in production before moving to post, I am very aware of the realities and difficulties faced on shoot and how post can help. Adept at assessing the challenges a particular show is going to face in post, knowing when to manage expectations and knowing when to achieve them.

Strong people skills – good at putting people at ease, getting the best out of the team and getting the creative vision on screen.

Excellent connections and working relationships with Post Production Houses.

Inspiration: 

I’ve grown up with stories in all forms: storytelling, reading, writing, plays, TV, films. I love people and their stories and being part of an industry that gives them a greater audience.

Languages:

Very rusty Mandarin Chinese. Basic French.

Career High:  

I’ve had the privilege to work with some splendid people on some fabulous shows. My one claim to film history glitterati is that on a very early short film, I worked with Jack Cardiff, Alfred Hitchcock’s DOP. He was the Visual Consultant and still working well into his tenth decade
