Floor Runner

Printer friendly CV

My name is Sean, I've been in the industry for over 2 years and have worked on a wonderful range of productions. My career has taken me to the BBC, the FA Cup Final, and The Commonwealth Games; I've even met Spiderman!
Previously, I organised live events and have been able to transfer many of the valuable skills gained from that venture: problem-solving, leadership, clear communication, and multitasking.
I trained to be an actor before completing a MA in Film Making which gave me practical experience creating shorts from the pre-production stage to the final edit.
