The mind could do more by thinking creative ideas, and bring into conceptualisation and rendering into films, he added. He said artists should have trust on their artistic job and story telling capabilities. "In my own art, I try to explore the world of imagination, reinterpret and capture direct experiences to expose inner vision. Craftsmanship and a high quality of execution are very important to me," he added. He was currently working on several projects including a Star Trek project in collaboration with Disney, he added. His visit to Malaysia was accompanied by his son, Devin, a producer from Hollywood.
