MAJOR PROJECT: CREW

Alex Barker- Writer/Director/Producer/Editor

So I myself in the process of writing the script will be directing, producing and editing the film Backbone. This will require quite a lot of work, but at this stage that is where I am. Currently on the 6th draft of my script it is almost in a position to take to shooting in February next year. 

Mike Hoad - DOP

Mike is already and experienced DOP who has worked on many projects throughout his University time here at UCA. He was the DOP on last years graduate film Grit and did an incredible job giving that film the look it needed. Being experienced in camera equipment and lighting he has the perfect amount of experience to help me and my team to get the right look and feel for my film Grit.

Plamen Dimitrov - Sound operator/Executive Producer

Plamen has been a long time collaborator with me throughout my time at UCA. We have worked on each others projects being DOP and Director alternatively. He is someone who I know can produce good work and will help me being on my project. He will be the sound operator on this film as well as an executive producer having helped in the development of the story idea from the beginning. 

Lawrence Sedgwick - Lighting operator/Executive Producer

Like Plamen, Lawrence has been involved in the story since its inception having helped me brainstorm through various ideas and possibilities. I would like to have him help us one set and therefore I have assigned him the lighting operator role that way he can help Mike being his hands on assistant to make sure the lighting is all good.  

Josh Bayly - Camera assistant

Josh is a second year who is keen to help me out and get the experience working on a third year project in preparation for next year. I am confident in his ability having seen his work from his previous work.  




Troy Smith - Production assistant

I have been impressed with Troy's work having seen his films from his last year and a half on the course. Much like myself helping on a project like this will benefit his experience in anticipation for third year work.
