Cover letter

    

Hello, my name is Cameron Boushehri.

    I am a current student of University of Central Missouri studying towards a Paralegal certificate. I'm also a Chapman University alumnus with a master's degree in Screenwriting and a Drury University alumnus with a degree in Multimedia production/journalism. My specialty is video/sound editing, studio production and creative writing, and I’m very interested in learning more.

    I also happen to be high-functioning autistic Asperger’s. Meaning my brain is developed differently than other people. But to me, it’s like a skill because I am very imaginative and creative when it comes to writing and video editing. I’m similar to Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. Because of my skills, I also have a photographic memory, I can watch an entire movie from start to finish and repeat it word for word.

     For all the documenting that I’ve done for Drury, I was a one-man production team. I wrote my own scripts, set-up my own shots, did all my own videotaping, set up my own lighting and sound, went into the editing booth and pulled it all together with sound bytes, music and voice overs. I know the process from start to finish and it's something I've enjoyed. During my time at Chapman, I have written feature and TV length screenplays using Final Draft and even done some Script Coverage.

     You may contact me at my phone number or by Gmail. And please take time to view my online portfolio as well. And if you wish to invite me for a Zoom meeting chat, I’d be glad to oblige.

  • Creative screenwriting; feature and television, Final Draft, script coverage.
  • Videography; video/sound editing, camera work, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony, Panasonic and Canon cameras.
