Insight #24 - Zeke Downes: Experience Of Working As A Logger Not Only At Wimbledon
Episode description
Zeke Downes is a runner and logger from London who loves sports, especially football, and is currently working as a runner on an undisclosed television production. Originally from Norwich, Zeke relocated to London to attend university and follow his interests in TV dramas and documentaries. We talked about what it was like to pursue a degree in television, why he picked this programme over the one in film and specifics about his university projects. While still in school, he had the opportunity to work as a logger at Wimbledon and he proceeded to do so on a number of other projects as well as at a few sporting events as a runner. In addition, we discussed Zeke's deep interest in sports, particularly football, including his favourite teams, players and his biggest hobby, collecting football shirts. Listen to this episode to discover more about Zeke's logging job, find out why he travelled to Wales for his final university project and get inspired and his profound passion for collecting football jerseys.

Quotes from the episode:
“It was my very first TV job and for the first two or three days I hated it. It was horrible as I didn't have a clue what I was actually doing and everyone else there had already been there and done it for years. But then after a few days, I loved it.”
“It was a really, really awesome experience and something completely different. It made me think that I would much rather do running.”
“There's always luck involved but you often have to make your own luck because people don't need to help you. You sort of need to help yourself in a way. “
“It's just awesome to combine different hobbies because I also love football, photography, camera work, media, everything. So it is great to just combine everything.“
