cauri began his career in theatre and television as an actor on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. While still a teenager he realised that the Caribbean had few productions in which to act. Not one to concede defeat, he bagan to produce for the theatre. The theatre introduced cauri to the world of television where he quickly attempted every role possible in front of and behind the camera. He eagerly worked as a gaffer, grip, camera man, actor, director, producer, writer, editor, art director, special effects designer and production manager.

After a few years cauri opened his own company and worked up and down the caribbean islands producing ads for tv, multimedia presentations, web sites (from 1997), print and radio. In the midst of this, various film companies from abroad visited Trinidad and he worked on every project that came along in one capacity or another.

Eventually a local film, produced by a Hollywood-educated young producer, hired cauri as an actor... and a special effects designer. The fast-paced action-adventure called for all manner of stunts and effects of which Trinidad had access to none of the equipment. After blowing a 1 metre hole in the garden, littering the driveway with scrap materials and staining the kitchen counter relentlessly cauri managed to create explosives, bullet hits, fake blood, miniature people and helicopters, breakaway furniture and stunt gags... for US $400! As an additional challenge cauri convinced the director to add in a scene where the "bad guys" blow up a barn while chasing the hero. cauri built the miniature barn and the surrounding countryside and, quite unceremoniously stuffed it will condoms full of natural gas and blew it sky high! The image of the exploding barn reached the poster of the film, helped the distributor sell it to cable channels like Showtime and helped seal a long-standing relationship between this distributor and the film's producer and, more recently, cauri himself.

Following this cauri moved to Hollywood where he decided that to work as a good producer or director he had to know what every person on the set goes through. No better way exists to get that knowledge than to do the jobs himself. He worked in every department on low and medium budget films.

Following Hollywood cauri took a break from film as he got embroiled in his hobby of computers and multimedia. After a number of years running dot com companies, doing project management and working in design, cauri returned to film. He contacted his producer friend in Hollywood and joined him in his quest to put out a slate of 14 profit-making low-budget films over a 5 year period in the competitive, international direct-to-dvd market.

Presently 4 films into that slate of 14 hollywood-based films, cauri has launched another slate of films in Europe. When not making films he lectures on production & editing in London, mentors young filmmakers, builds websites and databases for friends and practises kung fu. He presently works with partners in London, Paris, Netherlands, the Caribbean, Tahiti and Los Angeles to bring together his productions, enjoying every minute of it.
