Diamond View Director on the Moment he Fell in Love with Film

‘Jurassic Park’ (1993)

My first ‘I love film’ moment was seeing ‘Jurassic Park’ for the first time — as it probably was for most who experienced Steven Spielberg’s genius first-hand. Then as a teenager, I saw ‘Inception’ by Christopher Nolan, and for the first time, I realised: that’s how I want to tell a story. The way that movie made me feel, I wanted to chase that feeling for the rest of my life.

When I went off to college, while I always wanted to be a filmmaker, I didn’t think I could be successful at the time, so I started school in computer science instead. But for one class, I had to make a video for another project I was working on, and ended up putting more effort into the video than anything I had ever made for class. That was a clear sign and wake-up call that video making was what I really wanted to do since it was almost chance; production doesn’t really come with many computer science classes. I enjoyed the whole process from start to finish and changed my entire career trajectory from there.
