My first film art department journey begins in 2005 , when I was hired as an independent contractor (set design/drafting) for a local service company named Moonlighting Films. An Art Director named Christopher Daleberg presented me a plan of an island in Mozambique and asked if I would be interested in surveying an entire island and generate the plans in 3d. The conditions were that I was to use software called SKETCHUP the was sent to me from the US and model all the buildings I measure in 3D . Then upload the plans and send it to the office in Durban and in turn it got sent to New York to the Film production office of ICON pictures the company of Danny Glover and Mel Gibson. So starts my journey on a charter plane and landed at the airport of Pemba and started our journey on bus the Island of Ilha de Mozambique joined by Danny Glover and Michael Carlin. Over a month later I ended up in Durban working under Micheal Carlin - Production Designer (The Duchess).
