Background story:
"Animation for me is right now the ultimate form of expression. Since I'm interested in composing music, telling stories of emotion, painting, drawing, creating motion, movement to rhythm, colors, etc...
Animation is my natural choice of art form. All this can be touched upon through animation.
I also have a dream deep within to make animated long feature films. My greatest idol in this genre is Miyazaki Hayao. My poor hero is getting old, and I want to follow in his tradition of telling great stories full of heart, soul and with a strong message of peace and understanding."
Future dream:
"Running an animation studio creating quality long feature films."
Favorite artist:
"Kings of Convenience."
Message to young artists:
"If you think you have something to give. Then give it!
If you think you can do something. Then do it!
The path to your dream is long with many turns, and it's interesting. Don't wait until the ultimate opportunity shows up. Because it never will show up. Opportunities will show up after years of hard work. Until then, you have to work hard on creating your own opportunities. "
