Puppet shows and costume-making as a young boy. Began making Claymation films at age ten with his mother's super-8mm camera.

Into adulthood with limited means, produced several short films, four features, and a feature-length documentary, all of which have found distribution, despite their lack of big-name stars and apparent non-commercial appeal.
