FORCES OF HUMBLE BEGINNINGS…
I t all started many years ago when I was 12 years old and I went to the cinema to watch the Lord of the Rings, Two Towers. This was my first exposure to the Tolkien world and I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. Inside the theater I experienced excitement, fear, joy, happiness, uncertainty, anxiety. The movie finished, and as I was walking out the cinema with a feeling of exhilaration , I was thinking, how is it possible that a movie could make me feel all these emotions? Some I understood and others were completely new. Suddenly a cold breeze of air hit me and it was in that moment that I decided I would be a film director.
“Once we start looking at life through a camera lens, something calm and centering comes over us. We stop worrying about the past or the future as we immerse ourselves in the present moment, which is the only place we can be when we’re seeing photographically.”

” To be an artist, it is not necessary to make a living from our creations. Nor is it necessary to have work hanging in fine museums or the praise of critics. To be an artist, it is necessary to live with our eyes wide open, to breathe in the colors of mountains and sky, to know the sound of leaves rustling, the smell of snow, the texture of bark. To be an artist is to notice every beautiful and tragic thing, to live freely, to collect experience and shape it into forms that others can share. “
