Shelly Farrell

My name is Shelly Farrell, owner of Absolute Independent Pictures and I am always seeking new video and/or movie projects to work on. I work within people's reasonable budgets.

Absolute Independent Pictures is self contained and I own my own video cameras and one of the larger movie/video packages in the area (see below).

I have personally shot 18 full feature films and have gaffed/key gripped for many industry professionals for MANY other projects & industry productions. I can pretty much shoot, light or rig anything presented to me.

I have also shot or worked on various network/industry productions(Fox, A&E, Sony, BET - to name a few) and local producers, production mangers, directors and clients always find me very friendly and professional. I would love to be part of your team.

Please take a look at my demo. and also which I have worked on. This is a very small portion of my work.

Available equipment – Red Epic(full package) (2 Sony NEX-FS100UK Super 35mm Sensor Camcorders w with a full set of prime and zoom lenses(Zeiss/Nikon etc.) plus Ronin 3 axis gimbal, 3 EZFX Jibs/cranes, 5 dollys including a Dana dolly, Silent generator, HMI’s(including), Nila Boxer & Zaila(new technology), Kinos, LEDs, Mole, Arri(tungstun), car mounts, Steadicam(Flycam), and a complete grip & electric package, editing suite, plus much more.

All can be delivered by my van and/or 3 ton grip-truck and we absolutely do simply rentals also.

I gladly welcome any response.

Thanking you in advance :)

Sincerely,
Shelly Farrell
