CURRENT MISSION

Embarking on a new career, as a filmmaker and teacher of Film Studies

ABOUT ME

I want to start life all over again when I retire or semi-retire in a few years. I would love to travel the world or at least in Europe, North and South America and parts of Asia and Africa, on a bicycle or a motor bike, making documentaries, experimental films and short fiction films. I would also love to continue teaching but this time teaching Film Studies / Media Studies and showing kids how to use digital video cameras/ camcorders.

PHILOSOPHY

I learn new things everyday because as I get older, I realise I know very little. Live and let live. Be honest and loyal, love humanity and life, be tolerant and kind to others. Try to be humble! See the good in others and help people when they're down and out. Preserve the planet. If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, if you teach a man to fish you feed him for a life time. Try to be witty to make others laugh. Learn to laugh at myself and not take life too seriously... I like to be teased!
