Having goals of being a movie executive, there weren’t any open doors there, which pushed us to settle on the choice to offer the entirety of our kit and moved to London to live in a converted over shed in somebody’s yard for a year. We did intern work at Pinewood Studios and in the long run fashioned more work and contacts there to begin making our own films.
