πΏ FILM
My film journey began at the age of four when I saw Jurrassic Park for the first time. I was so frightened of the realistic dinosaurs that my parents had to show me a documentary on how the film was made just to prove it wasn't real. The moment I discovered that a team of people had fun making it all up - and that the dinosaurs were actually robots - that was it, I was hooked.
I am sadly no longer four years old, but I've been making films or working on sets professionally for well over a decade. In that time my tastes have matured slightly from robots and dinosaurs, but I still have that kid's passion for the magic of film.
