Profile:
Exceptionally well organized Assistance Director and a Scriptwriter; with a record of
accomplishment that demonstrates self-motivation, creativity and initiative to achieve both
commercial and personal goals/plans. Uniquely positioned for balanced view of Screenwriting
and Art Directing, have handled cases and work alongside with each and every member of the
motion picture art team; from the actors and producers to the lighting technicians and camera
operators. Directing everyone, asking them to perform certain tasks or act in a certain way, in
order to visualize my artistic ideas on the screen and to control the style, the pace and the
impact of the production. Overseeing everything, from casting and set design to lighting and
editing.
Even write and edit the drama picture script which I am responsible for transforming it into a
mature art production. As well as using my creative ideas and decision-making skills to produce
effective pictures. A motivator and an authoritative team leader while also being approachable
as team player enable me to lead a team of talented professionals; with an exceptional
organizational and time management skill. The ability to plan ahead, trouble shoot and pay close
attention to all details is vital my role. Being an excellent communicator, with insight and
diplomacy skills, is also essential as I must routinely deal with problems or even crisis situations.
I must also constantly prioritize tasks and perform multi tasks as I may be frequently
interrupted. The time of the art work arena is long and often during unsocial hours, working on a
freelance basis makes a strong commitment to the profession very essential. As I also usually
work under pressure and stressful conditions my philosophy is approaching all circumstances
with flexibility and positivity.
A talented scriptwriter and an inspired author who write scripts for feature films, television
dramas, TV adverts, documentary films, and anything else you can think of. Creating characters,
crafting dialogue and writing an engaging plot are all part of my specification. Essentially, these
creative dynamos form something which acts as the skeleton on which the directors can map
their creative vision. My scriptwriting process tends to involve the following course of action:
idea generation and research, planning, character development, and then writing every aspect of
a script, from the dialogue to the stage directions. The majority of my scriptwriting is
specializing in comedy, drama, suspense and action.
Objective:
Envisioning having a great career where I can go far within the art field with honesty,
trustworthiness, respect, and ethics in my actions. My goal is to accelerate my career creating
new opportunities and challenges that allow me to grow and expand to international and new
levels, and to become an expert in my field and work in locations that meet the criteria enforced
in the art, TV drama, media and motion picture profession.
