Lists as:

  • Grip Assistant
  • Lighting Assist, Desk Operator

Have worked on multiple TVC’s with Mick’s Gripping for Bunnings, Toyota, Samsung, and several other smaller brands.

In drama, I have worked on a few films, such as Killer Whale and Seven Snipers. I feel comfortable around Aputure, and Lite panel systems and have a decent understanding of filament-based lighting. I also have experience with basic gripping and I’m more than happy to learn more, I’ve always enjoyed using and learning Ronin 2 systems and would love to take my understanding further.
