I was born in Holland, to an Israeli mother and a American father. Now I go Emerson College in Boston, and I make movies.
It's something I've always wanted to do. When I was young, very young, I was cast in as an extra in a movie called "Left Luggage" which shot in Belgium. It's a very serious, quite arty and well-made film. I was just a child. It was amazing. The camera moved on train tracks. The actors were rehearsing in this room with no walls. Movies were made, I discovered. I want to do that, I quickly determined.
I was fortunate to always know what I wanted to do in my life. "What do you want to be?" easy question: movie director. The idea never left me, and no other option ever really took hold.
I left Holland, went to film school in Boston, and now live in Cambridge, and I make movies. Didn't take that long after all.
Thankfully websites like Rockethub help people like me and people like you, let me make the kind of movies I want.
