About Jonathan

I am a graduate in filmmaking and creative writing, with additional qualifications including five GCSEs, including proficiency in French. I have a keen interest in writing songs and film scripts, alongside a general passion for science, politics and history. Despite having Asperger's syndrome, a mild learning disorder on the autism spectrum, I am confident in my abilities to excel in the workplace. My experience includes valuable work placements in various film-related roles. Notably, from 2014 to 2015, I served as a runner for 151 Films in Leicester, contributing to the production of both a music video and an advertisement. Responsibilities encompassed equipment handling and facilitating the needs of the cast and crew. Recent endeavors have seen me specializing in sound production for several film projects. My fervor for filmmaking has been cultivated since my A-Level studies in Film, and I am proficient in a range of software, including Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Movie Edit Pro. Additionally, I am adept in utilizing Microsoft Office applications. I approach new challenges with enthusiasm and am eager to expand my skill set while making meaningful contributions to upcoming productions.
