I have been a filmmaker, quite actively, between 2010 and 2018/19, although my first short was already shot in 2002, when you still walked around in diapers;^)

I am on a break, since then, mainly focused on ( book ) writing and illustrating.

Will probably get back to filmmaking, in the future, but not feeling it, these days.

P.S. The 1895 stuff, actually most films up till the 1920s, are boring ( with bad editing, theater acting and hardly a story ) but they were part of my curriculum ( film history ), in my early Uni years.
