<span class=normal>Hi Max, how has your experience been so far in our colorfully diverse land? <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Im British originally but am now a US citizen, having lived in the States for over twenty years. I grew up loving Indian food, and playing cricket (I still play cricket for Corinthians Cricket Club who play in the Southern California Cricket Association). Coming to India for the first time, I immediately felt at home. Im aware of many customs here and so many people speaking English makes my visit very comfortable. In other countries I have to work through interpreters so being able to communicate directly with my audience is a real luxury for me. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>When was your first gig? How did you foray into animation filmmaking? <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>I started twenty-four years ago in the UK when I set up studio in London for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. With the success of that film, Disney decided to start making more animated films again but on a much more regular basis then theyd ever done before. I became a part of a team that tried to make that happen, as we expanded and built studios in Orlando, Florida and Paris. I was a part of that whole expansion; and so after Roger Rabbit, in 1988, I relocated to the US, where Ive been based ever since. </span><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
