William Saunders

A creative mind and a visionary ready to write and tell stories.

Ambitious, enthusiastic, a team player I always ready to collaborate and produce high quality work whilst remaining calm under pressure. I search for and use topics of discussions that have not been written about or approached before to create original ideas and concepts that further the thoughts of audiences. The genres I love to write are drama or comedy and where I can I combine both.

My scripts to date: I have a science fiction feature film script 'Diaspora'​. I have also written a biopic of Eddie the Eagle 'Professional Amature'. However I do have a short film 'Knee Deep'​ which was recently produced by a 2nd year University team.

I see my work as a hobby in order to produce quality. I am always in search of feedback and I carry out re-drafting.

I have two weeks of experience as a runner on the set of the feature film 'Weapon'​ by Film Engine and Enemation film respectively. The feature was being shot in and around Worcester on digital film and I helped out on set with actors and crew. I learnt many skills including camera operations and lighting, script supervising, and using the clapper board. It was a fantastic experience and I want to carry on in this area of work, with the goal of becoming a creative director because that position fulfills all my passions.

At MLA I worked hard as part of a team of Activity Leaders looking after 400 Italian children coming over to learn and develpoped English. I toured many of the famous city's in England being responsible for upto a group of 40 at times. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and took a lot from it putting smiles on the children's faces. It certainly developed me as a person in many ways.
