Writer, Director, Composer, Actor, Artist... overall just a creative person!
Ever since I can remember, I have been a creative child. I remember I used to run around my back garden, playing with imaginary friends - all with their own flaws, quirks and histories. I would act out a variety of plots with perpetually-changing genres — be it the death of a friend, an awkward situation or the search for a monster. And as I grew, my friends grew with me — each of them going through their own individual character arcs that affected the stories I told with them. I was an only child, as I’m sure you may have assumed by now. And if I was not reading a book to beguile the tedious hours of Monday, I was crafting my own tales; building my own worlds; writing my own adventures.
Screenwriting has been my aspiration before I could even spell ‘aspiration’. I got straight A’s in English Literature and Language at School, I enrolled in Creative Writing, Philosophy and English Literacy courses at College; and so Screenwriting seemed like the natural progression. This is why I was able to finish my Secondary and College education so quickly. I knew exactly where I wanted to be in life and I worked as hard as I could to get there. And now here I am. I started university at 16 years old, and have finally now graduated with a degree in Screenwriting And Producing BA (Hons).
You can see more details about my education and achievements in the section below. As for hobbies, creativity is my hobby. I wish that were me self-promoting but it isn’t. I really do this for fun. Do I need a life? No! Who needs a life when I get to spend a great deal of my days off writing screenplays about people with lives way cooler than mine will ever be. Another skill of mine is musical composition using programs such as ‘Logic Pro’. In terms of genre, my music can range from pop and rock music all the way to orchestral and emotional background music that I sometimes am inspired to make by screenplays I write. I can also draw well, and have created several animation projects completely on my own.
Overall, I am an enthusiastic, reliable, driven and approachable person. I have excellent communication skills both written and verbal and can easily follow instructions. I am able to work on own initiative or as part of a team and can deal with leadership duties competently. These are all abilities I have accumulated throughout my education and in my personal life. I am now looking for the next opportunity to use and enhance the skills I have developed during these times in a professional context.
