"master" that inspires your works? I actually went to an art school, but I didn’t attend many classes in filming there, I just went on doing it myself. On top of that, I’ve watched so many skateboard and snowboard movies so this is definitely where my inspiration is coming from. So if it comes to action sports productions Ty Evans and the whole Brainfarm crew are true legends for me. If it comes to storytelling I got really inspired by the way Vice magazine does this.
