I started trying to tell stories when I was young at home; I wanted to tell stories in some shape or form, and I was into drawing cartoons. In our house, none of the relations had film gear or anything like that. So you try and get your head round it. “I want to make a film … how’s it done?” How do you make a film?
I drew onto tracing paper, mounted those drawings into slides and projected them, and made a little recording to go with it. You try to make more of the story rather than think of the production values—because there aren’t any production values! You just try to do an entertaining something!
