Why am I interested in the role?
Since I can remember I liked telling stories with a camera, over years and years of being the kid with his family's camcorder filming my friends and I having lightsaber battles in the garden. I just kept doing that but obviously without the battles or the lightsabers so now I guess I'm that friend who always makes his friends act in his projects for no money and for the whole day.
