Earlier this year in April, I got in touch with some acquaintances and friends trying to bridge the sense of isolation and taking time to catch up and talk.

back to school – licence to draft

Well it always has been a conundrum for me, should you learn by doing or sitting in the class room. What is there to know -that I haven’t seen or experienced, in life and after years on film sets, in different capacities. Or what do I need to learn, to get to the roles andContinue reading “back to school – licence to draft”

CONNECTION CREW- crew behind the scenes – for theatre and film (&events)

In my bid to have the appropriate skill set and stamina to make it in the filmmaking world, as well as a little income: by being more hands on and navigating through a 3-dimensional world; rather then screen-based digital work: I looked around for crewing work and very quickly came a cross this company http://connectioncrew.co.uk/our-work/Continue reading “CONNECTION CREW- crew behind the scenes – for theatre and film (&events)”
