I really got into filmmaking through photography.

Film is something I've always loved since I was very young. In fact, I actually wanted to study to be a filmmaker when I was younger.

For me, I see filmmaking as art.

All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.

I always wanted to be a filmmaker and became one through sheer single-mindedness. I came to filmmaking from a background in graphic design. I went to film school at Newcastle Polytechnic.

I was going to go to a four-year college and be an anthropologist or to an art school and be an illustrator when a friend convinced me to learn photography at the University of Southern California. Little did I know it was a school that taught you how to make movies! It had never occurred to me that I'd ever have any interest in filmmaking.

I view filmmaking as a director's medium.

I always wanted to design for films.

I began to see cinema as the perfect combination of so many wonderful art forms - painting, photography, music, dance, theater.
