What is your first memory related to films?

Watching the first Harry Potter films on tape as a child over and over again, it was so much fun sitting in front of the tape recorder and waiting while rewinding the film

What fascinates you about film making?

All the work behind it, most people think it's just recording something that is then thrown together but not thinking of the hundreds of hours that go into each picture

Why did you choose Directing and Producing?

I always wanted to go to Creative Technology as I am very interested in technology and everything around it, but after I started working in the "business" myself, my interest in film soon shifted to Directing and Production

Anything that surprised you? 

No, not really

And what does the future look like?

Of course going to work and make movies, I would like to get into production and then make myself known as a director
