About Me

Hi, I'm Aj, a passionate filmmaker with a creative mind, currently studying in my chosen field of assistant directing. For the past four years, i have worked on and made professional and student led films, documentaries and tv projects, and music videos with clients, industry professionals and on large shoots. I have also worked in tv and radio, and have a morning school radio show i present weekly. As an aspiring first assistant director, I am dedicated to crafting unique and memorable content that resonates with audiences. I love cinematography and want to try my hand at everything in the industry to help deepen my knowledge and gain experience. My love for films and music is what drives me to create, and I am excited to share my passion with others.

 

Currently I teach film and tv to children aged 4-18, every Saturday making films, large projects and planning and teaching lessons each week. These films have premiered in film festivals across the UK and have won awards. Along side this I attend BOA Stage and Screen Academy and make films, documentaries and more. I have also had some brilliant work experiences recently. My favorites from this year include; working as a Runner and Camera Operator for an Industry Panel with Steven Knight and Create Central, working as a Production Assistant for Speakers for Schools Multi-Cam and working on my weekly Radio Show as a Presenter and Producer for B2 Radio at Birmingham Ormiston Academy.
