Ethos and on set domineer
-
It all begins with an idea.
-
I believe that the root of any great film or piece of media not matter how good the concept is can only blossom with the right crew.
-
Every member of crew must pull their weight like one cohesive cogs in an engine
-
With all previous aspects achieved is the best way for the film to be financially successful and with me as a part of your team you can rest assured you will have a team player onboard
