About Me
Hal Faux
I'm a 23 year old MA Film Graduate from USW with a BA in Politics and a desire to create fun films, comedy and satire in my spare time.
I have been deeply interested in creating and performing from a young age; starring in many local productions, helping to build and produce sets and getting as involved as I could.
During my time at Cardiff University, studying Politics and International Relations, I made friends who helped me to mould this passion into a skill and helped me to realise that I want to build a career on this creative ability.
​
Since then I have undertaken a masters degree in film at the University of South Wales and I have become a lot more confident both in front of and behind the camera and I hope to further hone these skills and begin to explore and create on a larger scale.
​
I am currently working as a Social Media Manager and taking jobs voice acting where I can. I have experience in front of and behind the camera both acting, directing, lighting and editing. I like to create and will often take any role I can.

Experience & Expertise
October 2020 – Present
Social Media Manager –The Pearl Remote Democratic High School
Currently I work as a social media manager for The Pearl, which consists of maintaining an online presence through the official twitter account and interacting with the community to build awareness of The Pearl’s existence. I also make a lot of original meme content regarding democratic education based upon articles and The Pearl’s founding principles to make it easier to understand. I also created a series of Doodly videos full of information based on an article on Democratic Education by Knight and Pearl (2000).

Four in a bed – Studio Lambert C4
I spent a week logging using Blackbird for Studio Lambert over summer in 2019 which taught me how to use programmes I was previously unfamiliar with (mainly Blackbird). I also spent a day shadowing the series producer for Naked Attraction, which gave me the opportunity to see the online, the offline and the dub as well as interact with many senior members of the team.
2018 to current date
Managing/Running a YouTube channel
In 2018Â I joined what is now HedleyKow and helped to rebrand and rebuild the channel. I am now a crucial member of the team and the driving force behind promotion and content creator. I am now the primary source of content, ideas and social media on and for the channel. I have pitched several series ideas, created, directed and edited several music videos and shorts as well as planned out and scripted some episodes of a web series. I am also solely responsible for the running of the promotional blog, the primary runner of the twitter account and the business Instagram. As of April 2020, I have been given shared ownership of the channel with one other person; allowing me far greater creative freedom
