- Was there a particular event or time that you recognized that filmmaking is your way of telling stories?
I’ve loved watching movies since I was little, and I’ve always loved drawing. So it grew naturally I think.
- Do you think it is essential to go to a film institute in order to become a successful filmmaker?
It might not be essential but it did help me a lot especially meeting other students/teachers who are passionate about animation.

I think I have a harder time to keep going, I have a lot of different ideas. And I feel like working on all of them.

It’s ok to take some time to think when you get stuck.

I had to cut out a lot of shots because there wouldn’t be enough time to make all of them.

I think it’s really difficult to find out wat audiences want. So I always try to make something that means a lot to me, so I try not to worry to much about it.

I’ve had a lot of fun having my film be played at different film festivals because a lot of people get to see my film and that makes me happy.
