My name is James Gilleece. I am 23-year-old filmmaker currently living in


Derry/Londonderry, currently in my final year studying Cinematic Arts at Ulster University
(Magee). I am extremely invested in the course, but externally, I have very little experience. I
am writing to apply for your 2021/2022 Trainee Finder scheme in hopes to gain experience
in the area of production design.

I have six years’ experience in the hospitality industry and recently, I have started my own
small business where I design clothing. I have gained transferrable skills from both of these
areas to anything in character design, costume design, working on a project, working on a
set, or setting a scene. Some of the skills I have developed from both fields are:

• Budgeting • Social media management


• Working with a team • Multi-tasking
• Communication • Attention-to-detail
• Knowledge of Adobe Photoshop • Good observational skills
and Adobe Premiere Pro • Good communication skills
• Good at sketching/designing • Working in a team
• Knowledge of fashion trends • Active interpersonal skills
• Strong sense of trend prediction • Understanding the importance of
• Creating an building rapport
atmosphere/tone/theme • Conflict resolution skills
• Organising photoshoots and styling • Good long- & short-term memory

I feel I would be an asset to wherever you see fit placing me, as I have a deep passion for
anything involving design and atmosphere. I am aware this scheme requires low-level
experience, so I am willing to gain experience in any field. I have a strong educational
background and a drive to constantly self-improve.

Please feel free to get back to me at my e-mail jamesgilleece2014@gmail.com or on my


mobile (+44)7928428408. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
- James Gilleece
