The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step... so goes a Chinese saying. And my was no different. My passion for films started as an adolescent. I did not take up film studies though; instead I studied commerce, business and accounting. But this turned out to be useful too. So, when I make films now, I approach it with a business sense e.g. write a business plan, organise resources, conduct risk and project management, ensure appropriate disclosures. A practical short film course helped me immensely understand the nuances of film making and gave me the tools to take my next step in film making. I also discovered the areas of film making that I loved the most. I started making films from early 2010. Without having gone to a full fledged film school, the beginning was very difficult. However, luck favours those who keep trying. A chance collaboration in late 2011 with Kent Marcus, Director of Photography for my second short film “The Afghani” provided me with a steep learning curve. While making my films I have collaborated and learnt from many in the film industry. Later, working again with Kent Marcus on my fifth short film, 'Dont Love Thy Neighbour' there was success at many international film festivals and it helped boost my confidence.
I approach film making with a balance of creativity, sensitivity and business outlook. I bring to the table honesty, professionalism, energy and commitment. What interests me is the ability to give shape to thoughts and imagination through writing scripts, producing and directing.
Testimonials Vitaly Zolotarev (Sound recordist/mixer and composer) - Great script-writer and director. Highly recommended!
Acknowledgement I would like to acknowledge my family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who have provided me with learning opportunities, encouragement and support.
