Director Biography - Tyrone Bruinsma

Born in 1997, I developed my love of cinema from watching Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away and Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. In 2013 I began a path of making films after watching Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim. I've continued my love of cinema, passionately striving to tell the stories I want, in the medium I want, and with the passion I want. I aim to challenge, subvert and deconstruct cinema-all while hoping to inspire the next generation of filmmakers
