What is your proudest achievement while working at Imageworks?
I'm proud of all of the films I have worked on while at imageworks, but to work on a treasured franchise like Ghostbusters was very special. Ghostbusters 2 was the first film I ever saw in the cinema, and my whole family loves the movies. I couldn't possibly guess how many times I've seen Ghostbusters.

What inspired you to become involved in making movies?
Growing up, I loved the feeling I'd get when watching a film, being so engrossed in the story and totally believing that everything I was seeing was real - Watching Christopher Reeves fly as Superman, the Millenium Falcon flying in to save Luke and helping him blow up the Death Star, crying my eyes out when E.T finally goes home, watching the lost ark be raided and eventually opened, the DeLorean gunning it to 88 in the carpark of twin pines mall...But it was particularly after watching Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park that I realized how much I wanted to be involved in the film industry in any capacity when I grew up. For the longest time, those movies were all my friends and I used to talk about (still do to be honest) and I've seen them all countless times. To be able to contribute to movies that become so landmark in people's lives is a very exciting motivation.
