Lydia Derrick

I have experience working on set, in large crowd rooms and main busses as a junior within the film and television industry.
I pride myself on having all the soft skills necessary for this industry being a very organised, reliable and an enthusiastic member of a team who is adaptable and can demonstrate initiative. I thrive when I’m working in a creative environment, whether that is independently or within a group. I would love to be considered for any upcoming projects.
