I made my first film at 19. A western, on a friends home camcorder. The film was edited in camera, as I didn't have access to anything to edit it on. Thankfully it was enough to get me onto a film course and then later a BA (Hons)) Film and Video degree. Where I would make films using Super 8, 16 mm, 35mm, and Digital. It was a great time to study. I then went on to work in various capacities on documentaries, music videos, shorts and features. Usually as part of lighting and camera departments. I would then become an actor and then a stand up comic.... it would take a few pints to tell you that one.
It was writing standup that brought me back to film. Some stories I only want tell this way. I set up Monkey Dawn Productions and started making films again.
