Hi, Tony.
I saw your job listing on BAVC's website and would like to apply for the
position of assistant director, lighting technician or producer. My production
experience includes working on short films, a documentary, a feature film,
and a
music video.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how I could benefit TV Moto.
Sincerely,
Amy O. Demmon

*** Career Summary ***
After being a freelance book editor for almost ten years, a friend asked me
to help her with a screenplay she was working on. I enjoyed the work immensely.
It didn't take long and I was hooked. For the last three years I have
dedicated
myself to my new passion, learning all the different angles of the film
industry.
Pre-Preproduction
I have taken classes on screenwriting and written three feature-length
screenplays
and two shorts. I have worked as a Development Director, working on raising
money
for a documentary. I am currently working as an Associate Producer for a
television program shown locally on the WB network.
Production
I have worked on independent film sets in such positions as Associate
Producer,
Co-Director, 1st Assistant Director, Script Supervisor, Camera Operator,
Lighting
Assistant and Assistant Camera.
Post-Production
I have worked with Academy Award winning Jim Klein and Sundance Winner
Tom Shepard on their latest project as an Assistant Video Editor Intern. I
have
also edited children's drama performances in my own Avid Express Pro.
My ultimate goal is to make my own films.
