It was February 2020, the height of the pandemic. Just picture it: everything was closed, everyone was in lockdown, and boredom was everywhere. To pass the time, I started binge-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Most people would have done it with a bag of chips in hand, but by chance, I was holding a camera I’d borrowed from my uncle. It just clicked—why not try recreating the iconic heist episode from the show? That was the very first moment I thought about making a film, and now, four years later, I can’t help but smile at how weird, funny, and unexpectedly lucky it was that it all began that way.
