Hello!
I am Calum, a London-based Post Production Runner who has worked in both Factual and HETV Drama.
My credits include "Outlander Season 6" (Starz), "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" (Netflix), "Tetris" - Working Title (Apple TV+), “World's Most Scenic Railway Journey: Minute By Minute” (Channel 5), “Boswell & Johnson’s Scottish Road Trip” (Sky) and “Don’t Tell the Bride” (Channel 4).
My interest in TV and Film began when I was young through making videos as a hobby back home in the Highlands of Scotland. In June 2018 I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Television from Edinburgh Napier University.
During my studies there I gathered experience in both amateur and professional environments which complimented those which I acquired as part of my HND studies at North East Scotland College.
For my final project I arranged and went to Mexico to film part of my Documentary about a lady suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. My education gave me access to learn and help me gain transferrable skills which can be used in a professional setting.
