I am an award-winning film director and editor, with an extensive creative production background that has seen me develop award-nominated film content for corporate brands, fashion houses, record labels, and artists on a global scale. Proven track record of winning pitches and leading cross-functional international film production crews from initial idea through shoot and post-production. Driven by my love for story, and a passion for developing projects from the seed of an idea to final product, I am a confident team leader with a creative focus, diverse technical skillset, and a unique professional background that has given me a 360 perspective on the film production process, and the effective communication skills required when dealing with multiple stakeholders.With a decade of hands-on industry experience and a love for assembling, leading and directing teams of creatives, I have supplemented my professional work with training at institutions such as the National Film and Television School in the UK and the William Esper Studio in NYC, honing my craft as a performer and artist, and bringing these skills to my professional work within film and media. http://www.williammarkarian.com/
