Job Experience
Cameo Extra: from January 2003 to present
As an on set extra, visitor or intern I have developed an understanding of production work
as part of a larger picture. I understand the requirement of versatility in regards to location,
time, callbacks, respecting the production and being alert. I feel that just the act of
observing and functioning within a production has given me invaluable experience and the
ability to make a transition into P.A. work.
