3. DOCUMENTARY FILM-MAKER AVAILABLE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WORK 

Dear colleagues, 

I am currently seeking an entry-level position in the areas of documentary
film production. I am a Media Arts graduate of the Dublin Institute of
Technology (DIT), Ireland where, over four years, I was involved on many
media projects, including TV and Radio Shows, and Documentary and Drama
pieces.

I have directed three short films, which are available on DVD. The quality
of the pieces will demonstrate an understanding of what is required for
media production. Being a director meant I was forced to operate within
deadline limits and budget constraints, and above all, be a team player
and understand what is needed for effective collaboration. In addition, I
have a basic knowledge and experience of working with Final Cut Pro HD,
AVID, Pro Tools, and linear Beta decks. I have participated in lighting
workshops taught by industry professionals. In short, the education
received at DIT gave me a quality training across many areas of technical
and production-orientated expertise.

Furthermore, I am willing to travel anywhere in the world at short notice
if it is required for a good story and a good cause such as human rights.
I have traveled alone in the Global South and consider myself a fearless
adventurer, open to "extreme experiences," especially in combination with
people interested in developing documentary films helpful in promoting
human rights education. I am a green card holder and an EU citizen.

Contact me if you feel I may be the person you need.
