"When I Grow Up" follows the imagination of a young boy's dreams for his future.
As a kid my imagination was my closet friend, and I spent a lot of time dreaming about the future. I wanted to explore the jungles like Indiana Jones, or search the oceans alongside Captain Nemo. Over time I caught on that these were just fictional characters but that spirit of imagination and adventure never left. Eventually, I had to 'grow up' and become an adult. So I pursued a career that was founded on the ideas of exploration and imagination. I chose to become a filmmaker.
