DP/1st AC, especially if you want a unique style to your images. Using the vintage Olympus Zuiko lens set will set a visual style apart without drawing too much attention to itself. Check out Dune 2 and Atlanta season 4 to see how these Olympus lenses perform.
Boom operator, an underappreciated task which is incredibly important. I own semi-professional gear to boom and still need experience, but that will also be reflected in the invoice. Perfect for low budget passion projects!

If it is scriptwriting or being a DP, I thoroughly enjoy all the facets that come with filmmaking. My goal has been to become as diverse a filmmaker as possible. Since budgets are starting to get cut and productions are shrinking their teams, it has become clear that a diverse set of skills is required to find your footing in this industry.
Some technical talk; The camera I own can record in full-frame opengate, and I like to pair that with my vintage Olympus OM Zuiko lenses (9 prime lenses) which I cinemodded to function in professional environments. I also have some audio gear, because we can not forget, audio is 50% of the film.
