• Production Assistant2004 - 2007

  Freelance

  During my time as a runner, and then production assistant, I saw it all. These three years were probably the most valuable of my career. I learnt from mistakes, both mine and those made by others. I tried my hand at many roles; AD, DIT, locations, grip and so on. I worked on feature films shot in world famous studios to no-budget vanity projects shot in a garage on an East London council estate. I propped up scenery, carried boxes, drove vans, cable bashed, moved lamposts, changed bulbs, cleaned lenses, fixed cameras, brewed tea, ate biscuites and used copious amounts of gaffa tape. It was brilliant.
