Ronita Awoonor-Gordon
In-house Runner
Central London-based passionate and creative individual with extensive experience across the whole production process including as a Runner, Production/Director's Assistant, Production Manager and Treatment Designer. With experience of working in music videos, branded/commercials, documentaries, TV/digital shows and fashion. Proficient in floor running duties (e.g. radio set up, set hire organisation), admin & creative support and deck design using InDesign. Confident working with sourcing & selecting crew, liaising with production teams and database management.
I am an upcoming Director & Filmmaker with an academic background in anthropology and a special interest in culture and identity. I enjoy opportunities that allow me to be creative, come up with and develop my own ideas, and touch on the subjects that I am passionate about.
