In the Film industry, you are only as good as your last project and so therefore, excellence is a prerequisite. There is no space for egos. I love the fact that each day has its own challenges and therefore as a person, I am constantly growing and exploring and I love throwing myself into new ventures and learning how to master them, if I have not been in that particular circumstance before, it is an honour. In my 13 years in the film industry, I have worked with the ‘cream of the crop’ in local and international crew, actors, production companies, advertising agencies & magazines. On some of the feature and dramas that I have worked, I have had to organize & negotiate sponsorship deals to help us out with the limits on our budgets. Within these 3 years, he have also worked with advertising agencies and production companies who needed him to market some of their projects, with setting things up and running the project.
