My future in film holds several possibilities. Although I have chosen my specialist field, I do not want to limit myself purely to this as I enjoy and thrive on all areas of filmmaking. ​

 

However, my aim is essentially to become a grip in feature length fiction films and a director of photography in wildlife documentaries, and ideally, eventually a key grip. 

 

Here are some potential employers for someone in these professions.
