F: What is your background?
M: I was more intrigued watching the “behind the scenes” on the DVD Extras than the actual film itself, so I soon realised that I wanted to be part of that world. So, when I was sixteen I heard about the BFI Film Academy and I joined a short programme. Initially I started as a director, but then switched into cinematography and that is what set me on my path. I started working on my friends’ projects and eventually on NFTS short films as camera assistant. Through those experiences I met other camera assistants and started building up my network and CV.
