Learned to love the wonderful world of movies by my father and my uncle who both worked as projectionists. As a pre-teener I enjoyed some movies in the families own home cinema having a real cinema 35 mm projector in the basement. Later on it was the wonderful world of VHS and over years a weekly visit to the sneak preview that turned me more and more into a cineast ending in watching nearly all genres to explore new cinematic worlds.
