I almost became a music major, but somehow I was so enthralled with the camera and becoming a director that I stuck with film school and theatrics.

When I went to film school about three years ago, the first two years you're required to make a series of short films. I started making films based on short poems.

I was planning to study more, but it's a struggle with so many opportunities for film and trying to get better through studying. No matter what, I want to be making more movies.

Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.

I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct.

I just remember when I came out of film school - and I loved film school - that the industry was such a mystery. How to break in, and once you are in, how to make a film; that is such a large undertaking. There are thousands of pitfalls.

I went to University College London and read English literature, then realised if you were interested in story and narrative, film was the way to go.

When I was going for my graduate degree, I decided I was going to make a feature film as my thesis. That's what I was famous for-that I had my thesis film be a feature film, which was 'You're a Big Boy Now.'

I took a film course in grade ten that made me want to direct, and I've always been making short films and home videos with my friends, so it's definitely something I wanna pursue as well.

What I do on film is part of my profession.
