New Guy looking to get into Rigging (NYC area)

[Doug Brantner]

Howdy.

 

I am new to the NYC area, recently graduated from film school (RIT, Rochester, NY) and looking to get into G&E, especially Rigging (camera & lights).

 

I have been Swinging on some smaller shoots and I've had a few days as an Additional on larger shoots. I worked in the school's equipment rental for 3 years, spent the last year as head Repair Tech, and also 2.5 years as a Stagehand/Sound Tech.

 

I am familiar with Lighting & Power Distro, and very mechanically inclined. For one project I collaborated with a Mechanical Engineer to design & fabricate a car mount rated for a 50lb. camera, and lived to tell about it.

 

Any feedback on the resume is greatly appreciated, as well as any advice for the job hunt.

 

Thank you.
