Bio
Hi there! My names Jim. I’ve been working in film since 2021 as a Unit Assistant and Manager. Coming from a hospitality background, I thrive in Unit and Locations but always keen to try something different in another department - lighting/production/art/shuttles.
I’ve also been a screen actor for 10+ years so I spent my fair time on set and know how it all runs etc.
Please hire me! I’m easy to work with, always on time and take on tasks easily. I love people and work well with anyone.
I’m also full first aid trained and have a clean drivers licence.
Thanks again!
