Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for the open position at Arts Centre Melbourne and believe that my skills and experience make me a strong candidate for the role. As a highly motivated and creative individual, given the chance, I am confident that I can make a valuable contribution to your team.
Throughout my creative development, I have always had a strong interest in education and the theoretical progression of one's practice/passion, completing degrees in Fine Art (Sculpture), Film & Television (IADT, FAMU Prague International) and Masters in Film (Screenwriting). I have been fortunate to be mentored by some exceptional lecturers within the industry; Giovanni Robbiano (screenplay), Pavel Jech (screenplay), Michael Gahut (cinematography), Beth Lazroe (Photography & Visual Communication), Des O'Rawe (Political Film), Jerry Coyle (Acting) and David Keating (Writing, Directing) to name a few.
Since entering into the film industry I have worked as an Editor, Motion Graphics Designer, Sound Recordist, 1st AD, Cinematographer, Writer & Director and have been involved in 20+ short films (fiction & documentary) that have made successful, worldwide cinema festival outings. Commercially, I have worked with some of the biggest names both inside and outside of Ireland. Recently, I was a director on the Fuel Productions team that won two prestigious Eventex awards in 2021 for producing the 'All Together Gathering Event' for Paypal. The first of its kind, a live-streamed event designed to gather Paypal employees from 52 countries, 13 time zones and entertain them for 72 hours with an interactive program of performances and workshops.
My diverse range of experience allows me to be highly adaptable and I relish the idea of working with/learning from diverse mindsets to achieve shared goals. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can contribute to your team at the Arts Centre Melbourne.
Kind regards,
Gary Boyd (de Búit)
