ABOUT

There's nothing I enjoy more than getting sucked in to a great film. I love all kinds of films, from simple, witty films like Beginners (2010) to gripping series thrillers that really have you on the edge of your seat like The Killing (2007-2012). My interest in the media has always been focused on the audiences relationship to media of all kinds and how they react to it. I love that moment when that film makes you cry, laugh, gasp or even just smile. Of course, within the world we live in, I can't resist in indulging myself in cheesy blockbuster films but I also love timeless classics like Some Like It Hot (1959) or Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). The BFI festival is also one of my favourite opportunities to watch new films that aren't perhaps largely publicised. Recently I saw Boyhood (2014) which I really enjoyed. Photography has always fascinated me and how it is used in art form and in relation to news. In a world which now is totally controlled and dependent upon the media, I'm really looking forward to studying Media Studies at AS level.
