Studied at AFDA Film School in South Africa.

[on directing Invasão do Mundo: Batalha de Los Angeles (2011)] I think that what we were trying to do was make a war movie that had aliens, rather than do an alien movie that just had soldiers as an afterthought. It was an opportunity to to try and examine what an alien invasion would be really like, from the point of view of a platoon.
