Leilia Bardsley Freelance Member

I have recently relocated to Bristol from London. I am a music lover and spend my free time going to gigs & festivals - if it's warm and they're outside even better. If I'm not doing that you can probably find me in a cafe with a good book.

Member Bio

I am looking to get back into what I loved doing – anything production based. I am very good at organising people, places, and anything that needs to be.

Having spent most of my adult years between production jobs and hospitality I’ve been able to really work on a wider set of skills that I believe are just as important as technical ones. I love getting to know new people and learning new things about new industries – and I’m a fast learner.

I worked in London as Production Assistant for a busy commercial studio. This involved organising the daily running of the studios, ensuring the clients and talent were comfortable and everything was running on schedule. This was my first view into things production based. I was in charge of a team of studio assistants, and in touch with set designers and caterers daily. I kept track of the expenditure of the studio and actively posted on their social media to keep their presence up to date.

I worked freelance after that, doing stints with Heaps+Stacks, a jewellery company in London, helping them organise their promotion packages. I then worked for Jellyfish, on the adidas account. During my time there I worked on their NMR campaign with Arsenal, a campaign targeted at knife crime within young people, promoting the power of community.

I have always wanted to try my hand in TV or film, as well as music & events, but I haven’t put myself out there yet. Perhaps this is my chance!
