Hi, My name is Kevin Ramlakhan and I am a filmmaker. The movie that inspire me was Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Back to the Future was directed by filmmaker Robert Zemeckis. Zemeckis told an unbelievable story on film about a teenager name Marty McFly (Fox) traveling back in time to the year 1955 from 1985 by a time machine created by crazy scientist name Doc Brown (Lloyd). Zemeckis created great characters and show how one event from the past can affect your future. Back to the Future was so creative as a child my imagination was running wild thinking it would be so cool to one day make a movie like Back to the Future and tell a great story like Robert Zemeckis.
Growing up as a kid you only thinking about how you hate going to school and just want to have fun and hang out with your friends. Believe it or not you get ideas from life experiences that can help you become a better filmmaker or be better at any job/ career for that matter. I was always fascinated by film technology to me its was always so cool. The first time, I played with my dad's camcorder. Yes, it was the big one from 1980's actually fooling around making short movies that made no sense. The VCR was another cool technology, oh yes remembering taking blank VHS tapes recording my favorite movies and TV shows illegally for my own collection then again everybody use to do that. It was the stone age of technology but, it was really fun. My passion and inspiration of being a filmmaker is strong as ever. Now a days you have smart phones and photo cameras that are so advance in film technology anybody could make a movie in palm of their hands as technology changes being a filmmaker for me will never change.
I have an associates degree in theater from BMCC learning all aspects of entertainment and currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in film at Hunter College. My Goal is to become a better filmmaker and learn as much as i can so one day i can bring my own ideas and stories to life in movies and TV shows or any form of entertainment.
