A Little about me and my experience...
Some years ago when I was just a lad fresh out of school,I had to see the world.I ended up working in a bar as a part time job.There I had the opportunity to get to know different types of people.A few memories stand out from that time in my life but there is one particular story I would like to share.An old lady of about eight five walked up to the counter one evening and asked me for something to drink.I asked what would she would like.Without hesitation in a high pitch, musky old English voice she tells me, Whiskey and two drops of water.Before I could enquire more about this it, an older gentlemen next to her said, he would like the same.They extended nods as if they new something,kindred spirits in this moment,time and space.I did what she asked,poured the drinks to her exact specification and gave it to them.Then I asked,why whiskey and only two drops of water.She looked at me for a moment and the said,“Sonny,at my age you have learned to hold your liqueur, but holding your water is something entirely different”.I live for telling stories,stories that motivate,makes you think,that is entertaining,that makes you laugh or cry,but above all,stories that inspire.Have you ever had a dream and a passion that had to be lived.I started this journey of my passion for film six years ago. It was not an easy road up that point,but what I learned along the way have assisted me to become the person I am today and benefited me by making me very unique in my work and my approach to telling stories.My strongest trait is my passion for the medium of film and TV, whether it be a documentary,feature,short or TV Series.I want to get my stories out there,stories that speak to me which I know will also speak to you and to the people out there.I believe that if you are to follow your dream you need all the help you can get.It started in the UK where I studied film for 2 years at the London Metropolitan Film School where I did a course in scriptwriting.From there I moved on to a complete different courses at Raindance film school,namely directing,producing and an all round film-makers course.Another thing I believe is that character is a big part of one's success in life.It will be the very thing that helps you to persevere and be determined, but also ultimately helps you in your relationships with people.So I started at the bottom of the barrel.I wanted to start there. My work experience began as a runner on shoots for commercials and from there I moved onto film and TV projects.I have done several short film projects as a producer,cinematographer,director and writer.Doing those film shorts helped me to discover what I really wanted to do in film,directing and cinematography.My last project was a women's talk show series called L'Femme Kofi for local television.It was an intense experience since it was the first TV series I directed.Well,I am still here,ready for more.What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.So what is next for me?I am currently working on a short film, which is in pre-production with an American Production Company called Main Man Films.This is another first for me as it will be my attempt to direct and produce a drama to attract investors to a feature film I want to direct.I am a determined person and do what I set out to do.I am a proactive and enjoy the fact that I can get involved and be part of a team.I am a positive person who loves life and all that it has to offer, whether it be on a film set, in an office or in my personal life.I enjoy liaising with peoples from all lifestyles because they afford one the opportunity to learn something new everyday.I am not perfect but strive to learn and do my best in every situation.This has enabled me to acquire the skills to better myself and move to a higher level of excellence.I have much to learn as a young director but I believe that with the path set before me,through my passion for film with an eagerness to learn and develop myself,I will be an asset to any project.
