ETHAN CHURCH

My name is Ethan Church, I am 16 years old and I am currently studying Creative Media and Technology at SGS College whilst working as a filmmaker/ photographer. I have a passion for filmmaking and photography and am always looking out for new projects. I have skills in directing, camera operating, sound recording and editing and am always working to improve these skills. Before starting up Ethan Church Creative Media, I had made videos for my small YouTube channel and worked on some small projects of my own. More recently, I have been working as a freelance filmmaker/ photographer and have been a part of some really great projects and events. With regards to film and video, these are some I have been a part of or created:

• A British Film Institute short documentary called “Margaret” (Director, Camera Operator, Editor)

• A spoken world film called “Human Nature”, working with an actress and a writer (Director, Camera Operator, Editor)

• Wedding highlights video for Jon and Hannah at Ellenborough Park (Videographer)

• Wedding highlights video for Stuart and Laura at Kings Weston House (Videographer)

• Travel video for Winterbourne International Academy Year 11 Mexico trip (Camera Operator, Editor)

• Maths with Parents video called “What Schools Say” (Creator)

• Bristol Airport careers video called “SGS College Introduces Careers at Bristol Airport” (Director, Camera Operator, Editor)

• Video for The Labour Party on their NHS focused day at Marling School Sixth Form (Camera Operator, Sound Recordist)

• Highlights video for fighters at the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Competition at Thornbury Leisure Centre (Camera Operator)

• Full Wedding Video at Bryngarw House for The Wedding Station/ Matt Turner (Videographer)

I have also done photography at multiple events. Some of these include:

• Ben and Dawn’s Wedding at Bryngarw House

• Zoe and Rhys’ Wedding at St Isan’s Church in Llanishen/ Llanerch Vineyard in Hensol

• JP and Sophie’s Wedding at all Saints Church in Cheltenham/ Brockworth Tythe Barn

• Helen and Andrew’s Wedding at Oxwich Bay Hotel, Gower

• Winterbourne International Academy Sixth Form Prom (Upcoming event)

I take every opportunity I can get within the film world. Recently, due to my work and College, I have been given opportunities to work in the Film and Television Industry. Just recently I worked on the set of Antiques Roadshow at Aerospace Bristol and had a fantastic time. Even more recent than that, I was given the chance to be a runner by a producer on one of his projects which I am really looking forward to. Hopefully opportunities like these keep coming and I can continue my learning and professional development within the film/ TV industry.

Once I finish my second year of College, I hope to move to London and attend Ravensbourne University. Here, I can work in the industry at the same time as enhancing my filmmaking skills. After that, I would like to maybe start up my own production company or work as a freelance Director/ Camera Operator. That could change however, who knows what the future will bring...
