Jumal Sam explained that seeing animated films as a child left a lasting impression on him. Already passionate about drawing, transitioning to animation felt like a natural progression. He began by sketching characters in various poses and then transferring them into Windows Movie Maker. Despite describing the process as challenging, he found it enjoyable. One of his main challenges was releasing; Guyana was not big on animation and he realised that he needed a job outside of his passion.
However, a friend later took him to the launch of the Guyana Animation Network, where he met Rowen Willabus, his current employer at IntellectStorm. After compiling his portfolio and resume, he landed an interview and has been working with IntellectStorm ever since. This employment opportunity propelled him further into his animation journey, allowing him to develop his craft significantly.
