DIRECTOR - CGI PIONEER

In my opinion, the only advantage of growing older is gaining experience.. but always remember.. without creativity, the technology is just “Nice to Have!”

After graduating with a BA (Hons) I was lucky enough to have been accepted by the BBC Film Unit at Ealing Studios. It was the best thing that could have possibly happened to me.. and after five years, armed with everything I had learnt, I set off to start my first (of several) companies…
