A young couple discover their baby has been kidnapped from the pram and will do anything to get it back
What is the first movie experience you remember?
My first movie experience that I can remember was when I watched Harry Potter for the first time and Voldemort was in it, I don't think I dared to sleep in my bed for like a year after that
What fascinates you about filmmaking?
What fascinates me is that this is a creative profession, you can play, test yourself and you always learn something new and meet new people. There is so much that can be done
Why did you choose your department?
I chose Directing and Production because I liked directing. I had made many short films when I was younger and was always behind the camera directing friends, so I decided to apply for Directing and Production, but the production has been full of surprises and a lot of interesting and fun things that I have learned this schooling, even going so far as to say maybe the production job is more for me
Did anything particularly surprise you in the study?
I was surprised by how many amazingly fun and talented people I've met and I've made such wonderful friends, many of whom are going on to do really cool things in the future
