Marvin has the most boring job - ever. But all is not as it seems...

About the Filmmaker:
Started on pen & paper, moved on to DeluxePaint on the Amiga 500 and later Imagine & ImageFX on the A1200. Became active in the scene at The Party in 1995. Was part of groups; Puld, Ostebulen, Dream Factory and finally joined JUNK in the late 90’s. Around the same time I switched to a PC based platform and started using 3dsmax. My primary focus was on visually pleasing effects (particles, volumetrics, dynamic simulations) right up until the point where the technical aspects seemed less interesting than why they were there.

I developed an interest in storytelling and directing and has since shifted my attention towards these goals. I am currently involved in the development of various animated and live action projects.
