I film and cut events, corporate video, brand films, promos and social content for businesses, agencies and artists. Doing both jobs means I'm already thinking about the edit while I'm still shooting, which is usually why things come back quickly. Extra crew come in when a job needs them, and if that's going to happen you'll know before the shoot. Either way I'm there the whole way through.
