I was just 2 years old whenStar Wars: A New Hopefirst came out in the cinema.
Being so young, I dont really remember the world before it.
It was just sort of always there.
I was about 7 years old.
I was going to watch this film over and over until the day I died.
I would get through about the first 15 minutes until I was forced to get ready.
It really made me excited about growing up and wondering at all the things I could do.
So the second best option was, well, maybe Ill become a liar too and make films instead.
