Tristan Iain Lanyon Cook

My Name is Tristan, and I've been passionate about film and TV since I was 10 and always wanted to create and make projects for Scotland and the world. I love sci-fi and action-adventure projects and how unique they can be, and I want to create films just like them.

I love being social with people, going to play pool or snooker, going on nature walks to see what I can capture on my camera, love comic books and could talk about anything based around them, and I like to grab coffee and catch up with family or friends.

What I want in the industry is to become a film director, which is big, but dream big, as I say; it can happen. I do want to help out in other departments and work within the tech side of the industry with cameras and editing software, since i started college and university, i got to learn and create more projects as a camera operator and editor which has helped me produce my own projects outside my course and doing freelance work has helped me gain more experinces and skills that helped me with my Projects in the future.
