Jonathan Marquis Metzstein

I am a friendly, responsible and hard-worker who is sincere, warm and adaptable to any given environment. I am eager to learn and develop new skills with a very self-motivated attitude and outlook towards life. I can also effectively motivate a team with a sense of humour that enables me to communicate well with people from all walks of life. Over my extensive and varied working life I have learned that listening, patience and respect are vital to effectively working in a team or as a freelancer. Additional information: In the last 14 years I have worked as a freelance filmmaker in Glasgow. This taught me to appreciate all aspects of filmmaking and develop my experience writing, editing, cinematography, direction, and production. I have always used Final Cut Pro but I do have some experience in Premier Pro and Avid. I have used various cameras including most DSLR’s, Canon C-100/300, Panasonic P2, AF101 & various other Sony Broadcast cameras. I am proficient in using basic to professional lighting equipment which knowledge I have used as a cinematographer on my own Dramas and Documentaries. I also have recorded live sound for interviews and music performances with self-employment teaching me self-promotion, perseverance and a motivation for all aspects of production.
