My Journey really started when, I was a young kid, drawing cars from magazines, tracing them on paper, now, I design, my own original cars, then I copied animated characters from TVs trying to draw them from memory, it was all 2D, then as time went by, then 3D, now I draw my own original animated characters, then years passed, after high school I took a year off, that is when I started, I have been writing ever since, I have never stopped or slowed down, as I now have over 25 screenplays and over 10 TV concepts/ TV series.

I acquired my knowledge or expertise through self development.

As a self made, self taught that is how I acquired my knowledge and expertise an artist/individual, from writing, directing, producing, shooting, editing, composing, model scouting, location scouting, drawing, designing, music, motivating and film.
First it was writing, in a form of screenplays, then a book, then shooting short films, then producing music, then talent scouting for music, then modelling scouting and then motivating.
As self made, self taught individual, it has been difficult, with all the knowledge, I have acquired, I have tried to apply for funding to further improve my skills, start up capital for my company New Dawn Visions Productions, create content for the Production, to employ the youth, I have done training at NYDA, unfortunately for a start up capital they did not help with funding, I also tried to obtain funding at DTI and IDC to shoot my first Motion picture, also there the was not much success, I am really trying and I also went to BASA( Business and Art of South Africa) workshops. Now I am 35, turning 36, in November, so the youth funding institutions, can not be able to help any more.
