Hey Guys!

So, there hasn’t been much activity on here in over a year. The reason why?

Well, I’ve been writing a novel. After a year of graft (including a 3 month writers block stint), I have finally finished my fantasy creation ‘Prophecy’.

Now the goal is to get it published and move onto brainstorming a very dramatic and magical sequel.

After 5 months, editing is finally finished! Attempting to get a better quality video published on youtube, as its decreased it down to 360 which is not fantastic.

Since August 2017 I have been directing and editing a short film for the Whitwell Common in Reepham. See the amazing achievements they have made with the generous funding from the Biffa Award.

Binge Read #CharlieHigson 7 book series 'The Enemy' Here are my thoughts... #bookreview

In the last few months have been binge reading Charlie Higson‘s ‘The Enemy’ book series. I first acquired a book from the series for my 18th birthday after getting a signed, hardback copy of ‘The Fallen’.

The series is made up of seven bookswhich revolve around the same timeline in London, where an illness has spread effecting everyone over the age of 14 years old. Those who did not die from the…

Saw Milton Jones last night. Here's what I thought of it... #comedy #review

One-liner comedian Milton Jones rose to popularity with his funny puns and on point wit when he was regularly seen on the TV show, Mock the Week. His mad hair style and atrociously vibrant Hawaiian shirts have now become his signature look.

The evening commenced with background music with some old classics following the ‘Jones’ theme, such as ‘Doctor Jones’ by Aqua and ‘Me and Mr Jones’ by Amy…

I wrote a short story to get my creative thinking juices flowing. Kinda depressing I guess... Check it out here!

This time it was over for sure.

As the door slammed shut behind him, Belle sat silently on the floor whimpering. She fixated on the window to see if he would return.

“Jack,” she called half-heartedly, but she was met with deafening silence. The clocked ticked in the kitchen and the sun broke through the clouds hitting the corner of her face in the hallway. Belle pulled herself up and staggered…

I’ve moved across the country away from my family for a exciting new job opportunity that I started in August. I’ve packed up my recently moved back self to my new home up north and I am now a proper adult.

This has meant I haven’t been able to film my most recently signed up project for Whitwell Common back in Norfolk. However, with guidance and direction from afar, I’ve instructed a friend (and amateur filmmaker) to film for me and then from there I shall edit the video together.

So far, it is half way through the editing stages but should be completed within the next couple of months.

I’ve Finished My Degree!

The three years of hard work is over…

I will be graduating with First Class Honours of my combined degree of Geography and Media & Communications. 

In addition to this… 

I have been awarded The Department of Media & Communication Prize for the Best Performing Student in Media for the academic year 2016-17.

The celebrating will begin in Paris and end at graduation! 

Better than expected, but quit while your ahead. Pirates of the Caribbean No.5 Review!

Pirates of the Caribbean has received mixed reviews, with a low score on Rotten Tomatoes I was really skeptical of how good it was going to be. I wasn’t impressed with the previous instalments of ‘At World’s End’ and ‘On Stranger Tides’, so I didn’t think I would enjoy no.5 as much as I did. It moved away from the serious aspect of the franchise and was filled with more jokes and slap stick…

Film Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

It is no surprise or exaggeration when I say I have been looking forward to this film for a very long time. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was fantastic in multiple different ways, but its lack of solid storyline was made up with the brilliant character development.

The Guardians have now surpassed my Marvel love for the Avengers. These guys are just too cool. The opening is everything, with the…
