VANESSA LORRAINE MASON BookofXProductions@Gmail.comEducated in film and media production, with a background in photography, digital art and writing, I am a capable, driven, and highly artistic person seeking a carreer in media, and opportunities to enhance my portfolio and network with other artists. I believe strongly in art as a means of self-expression and cultural identity. I have a developed storytelling sense and a keen eye for detail. I learn quickly and work well in fast-paced environments, independently or as part of a creative team. I enjoy solving problems, especially those related to technology and computer systems. If your project is unique, has high production values and something important to say, then I am interested in working with you. Areas of Interest
