I’ve been involved in the Manx film industry since 1996 and have worked on many of the productions mainly as either Assistant Grip or Rigger. I have also worked as Stagehand, Set Builder, Assistant to Sparks Department and done Stand-By. I have also worked off-island doing pre-rig and construction for films that aren’t solely based on Island. I have a van and tools, and am a very experienced motorbike rider on and off road.
