Hire Me

Flame Artist with footsteps around America, Europe, Asia, and over eleven years of experience helping clients in several captivating ads, Tv-Shows, and feature films worldwide. I provided my services for brandings like Virgin, VHI, Absolut Vodka Volkswagen, SK II, DBS bank, Heinz Ketchup, Vaseline, and others. I consider myself lucky to have worked with some of the most creative companies globally, and I believe the knowledge I gathered along those years made me the diligent Artist I am today. Geared up with a Flame 4k solution and the fire of making each scene pixel perfect, I provide my services as Flame Artist remotely from Dublin or on-site around Europe.

    I worked with the distribution of three American independent movies acquired at the American Film Market. The movies were Life of a King, starring Cuba Gooding Jr.; GUS, starring Michele Monagan, and Torment.
    My primary function was working the public relations around the releases and coordinating the programming process with the movie theaters and releasing the movies theatrically. Negotiate the minimum guarantee with the Sales Agents, negotiate the fee with the VOD aggregators and DVD distributors, analyze which date is the most affordable for the movie release, and study the market trends.
