William Drew

I am a Bristol-based aspiring actor, having recently completed my BA (Hons) Drama and Acting studies. I have extensive experience in stage and screen acting, including successfully creating and managing my own play, "Hookup Therapy", which was handpicked to be shown on stage.

Throughout my school years, I was involved in several plays, with notable performances including the lesbian character Inez, in Jean Paul Satre's "No Exit", and the lead in my A Level Drama devised play, which I received full marks for.

Additionally, I possess proficient skills in cinematography and editing, having been professionally trained in iMovie, Final-Cut Pro and Premiere Pro. I have a keen eye for producing high-quality films.

I am highly motivated, organized, and ambitious in every situation. Acting and filming provide me with the perfect outlet to express my creativity and imagination. I am ready to put these skills to good use in the

industry.
