- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
Sparky Tehnsuko's love for films began as a child in Portsmouth, UK, where he often got away from the dreadful sunshine and sea air by staying indoors and staring at screens, working at numerous cinemas throughout his hometown before relocating to London.
Having spent several years working as an Assistant Director on numerous film and TV sets, Sparky's flair for technology eventually saw him hand-picked to form new IT departments within film crews for the likes of Disney and Amazon Studios - all the while, however, Sparky spent any spare hours writing and directing no-budget shorts with DSLR cameras and knockoff lighting from eBay.
Filmed with actual crew and cameras, his 2014 short "They Call Me the Kid" was awarded internationally at film festivals ranging from Ireland to Tahiti; 2023's "Villain", a flame-filled revenge fantasy starring Bella Ramsey, marked Sparky's most ambitious project to date, being screened and occasionally awarded at dozens of film festivals all over the world before being selected by DUST to premiere online.
