Keri Spain, B.S. Film
Based in Portland, Oregon USA
I am a recent graduate of Portland State University. I have recently entered the film industry, and am eager to learn more. I have worked multiple jobs in the retail and food industry while attending school to reach my goal of obtaining my Bachelor’s in Film. I’m ready to pursue my true passion: Cinematographer, Sound Operator, and Screenwriter.
I know I can provide a wide skill set and professionalism to your production team. I pride myself to be resourceful in solving problems, maximizing resources, and being highly organized. I am very self-motivated, and I am able to keep up positive morale. I have worked on multiple projects helping teams stay focus and complete their vision, in a timely manner. Being an aspiring cinematographer, I have made sure to communicate well with the directors and producers in order to reflect the vision and think ahead for any unforeseen issues.
Over the years, I have gained experience managing responsibilities in the high-volume atmosphere of hospitality, in the beautiful Napa Valley. I have worked in multiple high-stressed environments, being the necessary go-to person for large-scale events; Bottle Rock, Napa Valley Wine Auction, Napa Valley Film Festival, and many more. During this time, I was proven to be a hard worker, quick learner, composed, and responsible. I can work independently, and also in group environments.
In my spare time, I love to visit wineries, find local foodie spots, travel to the coast to go crabbing and watch movies. My husband and I did a cross-country to New York a few years ago and would love to do that again during the summer months. Been married since 2015, we have a Siamese cat named Mister and we plan on buying a home in the near future.
I am eager to learn more and gain the necessary experience to reach my career goal. I hope to bring positive energy and gain a larger network within the film industry and your projects. I would love to schedule a meeting to discuss future opportunities.
