Films that Inspire Me to Make Films

For a very long time I've wanted to make films. At the age of 8, to a crowd of my own reflection, I gave a wonderful Oscars speech. My friend and I would always make videos on our crappy cameras thinking for some reason that they were Hollywood hits. Some of the best titles included Super Frog, Hopscotch Monster, and Invasion of the Dinos (which sadly never made it to production). I don't know what made us think of those things but I do know what inspires me to write now. So here are eight films that inspire me to make films:

I am delighted to say that you have received this email

I'm only just getting back into blogging so I thought I post again just talking about what's going on and how I'm feeling. Regular posts will be back soon, maybe. 

A few days ago I went back to school. And I must say if there's anything to drain the life from me, it's the education system. But luckily, that same day I received an email to say I'd been given a conditional offer at college. (I have to get certain GCSE grades to go there but if I get them, I'll have a place.) To be honest, I don't know how it works. I sent in an online application and apparently that's enough. So I'm pretty happy.

Nothing like a Conditional offer to cram the motivation down your throat. I'm not sure if I will go there. I have an interview at another college next week so... options I guess. But I now feel like I want to work hard to do well. I've been stuck recently because of my situation at school but now I don't want it to stand in the way. 

That's all for now, hope to see you next time. Bye
