My parents are from South Africa and the majority of my extended family live there.

This was my 2nd visit to South Africa, the first being in 1992 at age 10.

I saw the Pixar film Wall-E with my grandma, sister, aunt, uncle and cousin on opening night in Johannesburg. This is my 2nd film credit and my first movie credit as a technical director (digital artist).
