## Biography

Haycock's early interest in filmmaking was sparked by a gift from his mother, a VHS camcorder, which he used to make surf and skateboard videos as a teenager. This early interest led him to work in graphic design at Thrasher Magazine while he developed his skills in visual effects and editing. Haycock's early work in graphic design and visual effects included creating title sequences for notable productions such as "Fight Club" and "Nip/Tuck." For the latter, he received an Emmy Nomination in 2004.
