How he became a director

He didn’t know right after he was finished school in exactly what direct he wanted to go. He enjoyed everything that had to do with drafting, design and invention. He tried different things out. Architect, fashion designer, product designer, photographer and filmmaker, he considered. Although he decided relatively early against fashion designer, he had a lot of fun creating things that he could use and wear in his everyday life. He would still wear some of his creations, if he hadn’t gotten so fat. He found it exciting to imagine and invent products that would make every day more enjoyable. His favorite design was a small windmill that one could, for example, hold out the window of a train and charge his phone. Eventually he gave up on product design too because you can reach more people with film. And that’s how he became a director .
