Veteran Hollywood vfx guy looking for startups needing help with video/audio

Hi, Demis here - London-based Hollywood visual effects guy, currently on hiatus writing a novel, also wanting some part-time work to keep my head in the game. I'm looking to speak to people/companies with a need for my broad production skill-set (video/audio/digital). Ideally, startups who need to engage their audience but don't have a massive budget, happy to engage a one-man (remote) operation to solve some of their problems, cheap.

Things I could help with include:

One-off videos: I've been around a long time (see: http://goo.gl/3jR1fo), understanding all the workflows. Big stuff aside (Godzilla, Marvel, etc), I've worked on several recent viral hits (this: http://youtu.be/o0u4M6vppCI), as well as producing my own stuff (one even ending up in a museum: http://youtu.be/frUPnZMxr08). Shoot/direct/edit whole spots, or work vfx magic on a single shot.

Production for rich-media channels: You might need someone to run your podcast, produce for a YouTube channel, or film a Vine series. Anything's possible. I have an audio degree, worked as a video editor, and can manage any online audio/video project from concept through to distribution.

Blog + social + content: Maybe you need someone to unify an online/social presence - articles, content, engagement. I've written catchy articles hitting 20K+ views in 24hrs (http://goo.gl/lOlxpa - about eating rotten shark), love dissecting metrics, and am often brought in as an outside consultant for one-off creative brainstorming.

Something ambitious: I'm very much an outside-the-box type. Maybe you're curious about VR, or facade projections, or you want to emulate "this cool online video" but have no idea where to start? I'm 'that guy' people bring in to help.

Projects of any scale/location/budget, without the agency price-tag. Intrigued? Let's talk. Until then, wish me luck with my novel! :)
