Film has always been my passion. My interest in film began when I was four or five; our family would rent old Godzilla films from Blockbuster. I was fascinated by them, although the dialogue was over my head. But the special effects of those cheesy old movies drew me in. It was then that I began to realize how films could tell a story, one that diverged from reality.

Maui is like an endless summer. Three weeks living in Hawaii should be fabulous. My living room view has a perfect view of the ocean so I can see all the para-surfers going along the water. All the locals here are very chilled out and relaxed like they don’t have a care in the world. I woke up early and looked out my window to see people at seven am already para-surfing.
