About

I have over five years experience in the fim archive sector, undertaking training at Science Photo Library, the East Anglian Film Archive and the Wellcome Collection before I entered my current employment at Huntley Film Archives.

As Film Archive Manager and Researcher, I perform a diverse range of tasks integrated into the workflow of our digitisation team - from film handling to customer service:

These tasks include archive film repairs, scanning a wide range of film formats,  processing digital files for clients and upload to our website. Using DaVinci Resolve, I do basic colour correction on archival material and edit together creative showreels for marketing. I also manage our social media platforms (which includes writing a WordPress blog) and undertake license administration and research for archive producers across a range of film and TV productions.
