RELATED EXPERIENCE

1998 B.C. Film Industry Orientation Course
From 1989 to 1996, I volunteered at Shaw Cable where I learned to operate a camera, direct and produce a
show, audio mix and set up titles on a computer. During this time I helped televise such events as the Peach
Fest Parade, the Ironman Triathlon and was also the head editor of Youth In Action, which was broadcast
throughout B.C. I have also made 5 music videos. This community service has enabled me to interact with
many people.
