BA (Hons) Media Production
I am creative who belives in collaborative leadership. Taking the lead in acting on creativity and yet working collaboratively in order to boast my vision. I took that from writing all the way to editing. I showed people my script and they gave feedback, I worked closely with my DOP in terms of how the film looks and then with Editing I still sought feedback and others input will all still keeping to my own vision. No studio pressure, no producer trying to make it fit to how they think it should reach people.
Charlie's Prayer is based on the values I have learnt over the years on friednship. The idea had been sitting in mind for a good few months before I sat down to start writing. I think this has allowed me to properly think it over and flesh it out over time. Which is why I was able to put so much story and character in such a short running time. This film is inspired by and dedicated to my closest friends of whom we share a bond that transcends anything else the world has to offer because it is deeply rooted in love for each other.
