Meet the Finalist: Kevin Strickland, "Cloud Of Witnesses"

What inspired you to become a filmmaker?

Playing with my friends during the long summer days. I always had a camera in my hand and just pointed it at anything that interested me. As I lived longer, the more that started to interest me.

What's is your all time favorite film? Why is it special to you?

Michael Clayton. Its a bit of a sleeper, but the writing and mood is fantastic. It perfectly captures the David and Goliath story and ultimately a sense of justice as the final good.

What tips would you give aspiring filmmakers who are just starting their careers?

Don't think too much. If you have an idea, write it down and surround yourself with a creative community that will push you to act on your ideas.
