"My name is Sarah Devlin and I hope to join the Blare Media team as an Assistant Director, Production Coordinator, or similar role at the San Jose branch. Blare Media produces quality work and it would be highly rewarding to be a part of your projects. I have on-set experience from when I was earning my master’s degree. I enjoyed my work as Assistant Director and Director on the short films that my team and I produced. Planning each project and keeping productions organized came naturally to me and I found the work to be immensely fulfilling. I appreciate projects that require a great deal of teamwork, planning, creative problem-solving, organization, and artistic expression. Being organized helped each project run smoothly and facilitated each team member’s creativity. After I graduated, I worked for a small production company in Los Angeles: Family Theater Productions. As my work was part-time, I also worked for Believe Entertainment. For both production companies I was a script reader and story analyst from 2015 to 2019. I was in charge of assessing the quality of the scripts we received and evaluating the production value of each piece. My undergraduate work was a double major in English…" Read more about Sarah Devlin…

"Attending UCSC I have taken a number of courses focusing on narrative production, documentary production, animation, audio engineering, and film theory. Such a large university environment has provided amazing opportunities to understand the value of creative collaboration and authentic listening. Through my employment at LinkedIn and Sun Beat Films I’ve had the time to become fluent in the entire Adobe Suite (most confidently Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, and Media Encoder) and with a wide array of video and lighting equipment. As a first generation college student who’s supported myself with various jobs throughout the past four years, I understand the importance of time management and the prioritization of tasks. I feel as though I’ve learned to communicate effectively and take constructive feedback, both through academia and the professional positions I hold as a cinematographer, editor, and production assistant."

"As an upcoming filmmaker, I have spent the past 3 years gaining knowledge and experience in many aspects of filmmaking as I can. I believe my creative vision and technical abilities to be the most fitting for this role. My interest in digital media started with photography, through which I learned to use programs like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. This allowed me to segway to video production. I am most proficient with the editing software Adobe Premiere as I have predominantly spent time learning and working with it on my own projects as well as those of others. Over the past year at Syracuse University as a film student, I have focused on furthering my skills in script writing, cinematography and post-production. Being a freshman, all of our work is self-produced in small groups which has been a challenge that has allowed me to push myself and figure out the logistics of each role in depth. When it comes to post-production, I am most capable in assembly, color correction and sound design. I am also capable in using special effects. Most of my personal work is in the form of short films which I edit myself. Although I also have…" Read more about Ishaan Teja…
