I am a hard worker when given work. This not only applies to my work on film sets but for any line of work I am faced with. I am determined to get the job done before the deadline. If my employer teaches me the basics of any job, I will adapt and get the job done to the best of my abilities. I also have the ability to work physically with heavy objects and construction. If you hire me, I can guarantee you I will work to the best of my ability with a smile on my face and grit in my gut. If you hire me, I can guarantee I will get the job done by the jobs deadline.
I worked as assistant director for this personal film project. I took the notes for the editors and worked as a personal assistant for the director. I also helped with the special effects for the fake vomit and as a grip for the majority of the shoot.
Here is the final project:

I worked as a grip and took over as the head gaffer during production for this project. I worked for two days on the set. The first day I worked from 9AM-11PM. I not only did the lighting, I also helped paint a set prop. The second day, I worked from 9AM-10PM. I also worked as a background extra but this did not make the final cut of the short film. If I remember correctly, my work was nominated for best lighting.
Here are the clips from the project:

I have never had a GPA lower than a 3.0. I have a High School diploma. I played six years of football, eight years of baseball, and five years of basketball. I have been on three short film sets before the age of 20. I'm pretty sure I was nominated for a cinematography award on a 48 Hr. film project but my memory is foggy on that. I have seen over 1,000 films in my lifetime.
I love film I am currently minoring in college for history and mass communications I love playing video games in my spare time I adore history and if I do not get a stable job in film, I will explore work as a High School history teacher I love writing and I am currently working on a novel, I am roughly 30 pages in I also love listening to music I also exercise daily at home with non gym equipment exercises I also hope to run twice a week in the coming months
