I am emigrating from the U.S. because my daughter is queer and I don’t think she is safe under Trump. She won’t be totally safe in the UK either, I understand that, but it’s as safe as I can get her right now.

As I said, I can legally work in the UK. I have citizenship through my father. I am applying right and left, but any additional help would be really wonderful. I’ve been going to some recommended sites- Indeed, Glassdoor, Guardian Jobs and the UK government’s job websites, but I am hoping someone here might also have connections because I really don’t want to deplete our savings and whatever we get from selling things like my car while I look for work.

I have spent most of my professional life in the video and audio production industries. I had my own small post-production studio in Los Angeles for 10 years. I have worked as a video editor, audio editor and sound designer for multiple prestigious clients and also for some low-budget film companies.

I also have experience as a news videographer, I’ve done a lot of TV and radio advertising work, and I have an impressive list of people I’ve done voice over work for (I specialize in characters and accents).

On top of that, although this is not on my CV because it generally doesn’t lead to work, I have 15 years’ experience doing standup comedy and comedy writing. I never got famous, but I almost got to be a part of a reboot of National Lampoon Magazine which ended up never happening, so that was cool.

Anyway, if anyone here can help me out, I will happily send you my CV. Obviously, I’m not going to doxx myself and put it here on Lemmy, but if you send me a PM with an email address, I can send it there.

Thanks.

    The new UK Studio is called Shinfield Studios. (Just realised I didn’t name it in my last message)
