previz, I can control the creation of an image more effectively and faster with pictures and words. Film production got me into team coordination, leadership and more moral values than I would have expected.

From my father I got the secrets of the golden section, film grammar, Stanislavski, all my consoles and my first lens. From my mother and sister I got love, tons of it. My mother also gave me analytical thought and my need for justice and truth.
My wife made me thrilled about life. To have expectancy that joy lies ahead. Then she confirmed it by giving me two sons. My kids gave me a stake in the future, a window to my own biases, and the force to go through a wall — for them.
