Working Title Films (2008-2012)

Explore my journey at Working Title Films from 2008 to 2012, a period where the magic of filmmaking came to life.
 
As part of the renowned Working Title Films, co-chaired by industry visionaries Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, I immersed myself in the world of cinematic creation. With a rich history dating back to 1984, Working Title boasts a portfolio of over 100 films, collectively grossing over $7.5 billion worldwide and earning 14 Academy Awards.
 
During my time at Working Title Films, I had the privilege of working both in-house at the production company and on-location during principal photography. Engaging with films like Senna, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Legend, Anna Karenina, Green Zone, Les Misérables, A Serious Man, Paul, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, and Rush, my role extended to providing crucial feedback on scripts and edits.
 
A personal highlight was contributing regular feedback and assistance during the editing process of Senna, the BAFTA and Sundance-winning documentary that emotionally unfolds the life and death of Brazilian Formula 1 Champion Ayrton Senna, directed by Asif Kapadia.
 
In 2011, I took on the role of Assistant to the Producers and Director for Johnny English Reborn, offering hands-on involvement throughout the entire filmmaking process – from script development, location scouting, casting, principal photography, to final edit and release.
