1st Assistant Director

When in 2009 she embarked in a 2 year course which covered all forms of writing, her tutor Stephen Loveless a screen and playwright, saw her passion for this genre and invited her to work on a film as a runner, which he had written and co produced.  She was asked to go for 2 days, but 14 days later working 20 plus hours a day she was hooked. This was where her passion for film making began. Her organisational skills on set were highlighted and after 4 days and she was promoted to 1st Assistant Director.  Ever since the first film she has been asked to 1st Assistant Direct on numerous independent films.  In addition, from that initial film other actors/actresses saw her organisational skills and subsequently asked her to stage manage theatre plays.  This has been for both professional and amateur dramatic companies. Although she has a passion for film making, her greatest past time is for writing.  She has written various sitcoms and a thriller. The thriller was written in 2011, which is now at the beginning of pre production.  Her thirst for learning about the industry in depth was paramount before embarking on her journey.
