Experience & Qualifications

General Experience

For the Pasaje Del Terror, I had to perform a variety of roles in heavy makeup & costume, often including full-facial latex masks. Long hours in uncomfortable working conditions are not an issue!

During the filming of "Tiny Town", apart from acting I also did some second unit directing & camera work.

At drama college I did extensive lighting, sound & staging work, along with both fight & dance choreography.

For "Sharks!", I did most of the camera work, all of the scripting & all of the editing.

While working at a Blackpool school, I was assistant director for the drama club, which was successful enough to go on tour.

I rigged, focussed & operated the lighting for the Von Kemplin music video "A Plague Upon All Living Creed".
