About Frik

  • Share profile:
    I have more than fifteen years experience in a range of corporate and broadcast productions.

    Starting out as a photographer in the world of "slide-tape" productions back in 1994, I moved on with the ever changing times of the industry into video production. Working for a world class corporate and events company I established myself as an editor, where I also gained valuable experience as a director and eventually as the head of the video and edit department.
    Moving to London enabled me to gain new experience in the broadcast sector, working across a range of channels and genres.

    I am a good communicator with the ability to work on my own initiative as well as in a team environment.

    I am passionate, highly driven and dedicated to achieving excellent standards.
