As a child, Geoffrey was a big fan of Animation and Special Effects within Hollywood Movies, and always had a dream of somehow working behind the scenes on the next big movie.

Over the years, he has had the opportunity to work at a variety of Production Studios around the world and loved every minute of it. Some of his film works include: The Avengers, Iron Man, Transformers, Battleship, Prometheus, Fast and the Furious, and many others.
