In one sentence what is unique about your work? 
It's simple - good, bad or indifferent, no one else can do what I do in exactly the way that I do it.

Why do you do what you do?
Because there's no second choice.I have always reaped an enormous satisfaction from the act of visualizing a story and then sharing it with other people.

What inspires you? 
Inspiration is found most anywhere, but light, the right music and certain aromas can serve as wonderful catalysts.Sometimes combined with a hit or two of a good single-malt, of course!

Describe your personal style. 
Honest.Fit.Modern.To the point.An intellectual thug...

Your ultimate must-have. 
Peace of mind.The requirements for that vary according to circumstances.

What superpower would you have and why? 
The ability to travel back and forth through time while maintaining a contemporary sensibility.Even the mundane moments of the past and future would be fascinating when filtered by an awareness of the present moment.

What is next for you? 
A number of projects are in development.Hopefully other interesting, challenging and\or prestigious feature or television productions will present themselves.I think I hear the phone ringing now!
