About

Film has a transformative power to shape the viewer’s perception, taking them on an incredible journey of the imagination. I‘m obsessed with this idea, and have made it my career‘s ambition to shape the reality of others the same way film has shaped mine. And while I haven’t actually been to Tatooine or The Shire, this career has led me on an amazing adventure around the world, and I’m excited to see what the next chapter holds.

" The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. "
