Humble beginnings..

MLP_6732.jpgHank was born July 19 / 1983 and is a consummate child of the eighties.  A self described Star Wars nut, his first interest in film production came after seeing the special effects of Jurassic Park. Throughout his years in elementary / high school he devoted much of his time to teaching himself computer animation technology & techniques. It was not until midway through the second year of his BA program in University that he took a serious interest in directing.

Expanding his film horizons in university he directed his first short film that same year and in his own words: “I use film as a way to express myself and as a way to create narrative art. I enjoy the challenge of seeing a project from an idea in my head to a finished piece of work people can experience. I want to create a piece of work that affects people the same way I was affected when I first saw some of my favourite films. I could not see myself doing anything else”.

Hank’s work has been screened in film festivals in Europe and around North America and has garnered several awards & nominations. He has screen credits on IMDB and is currently working on several film projects.
