WOOP WOOP #3! Do I win anything?

Work Experience?

Today I was told that no matter how well I did academically, I would not be able to compete with other candidates applying for university as I don’t have any relevant work experience. However, this is easier said than done as minors aren’t allowed to do paid work in Dubai. So, if anyone, anywhere, knows where a good place for an aspiring filmmaker to do work experience over the summer (preferably in Dubai, but most likely not) please let me know.

Thanks :)

YouTube Debut!

1 hour until my YouTube Debut! It’s the time lapse I shot on Day 3 of the Silver International Award. I still have some work to do on the compilation. Nevertheless, I’m quite excited to see all of my hard work finally paying off.

Maths

My parents have always supported me in whatever I do, but now, as I embark on the most important stage in my life I feel as if I can no longer count on them for their support. I want to be a director. Nothing more, nothing less. I want to study film in university and that’s what I want to do with my life. The trouble is that this isn’t exactly what my parents had in mind. I consider myself to be a Jack of all trades but a master of nothing. I’m good at school, but I’m not great. I’m more creative than academic and hence I excel in the arts. So as one would expect it is this path that I want to follow. But when I told my parents today that I didn’t want to sit an A level maths paper on top of my GCSE’s they were slightly taken aback as that is the last thing they would expect from me and rightly so. I’ve always wanted to push myself to my maximum potential and so if an offer ever arose you could bet your bottom dollar that I would take it. This time though, I’m not so sure as I feel that I may have finally reached my limits. You can do anything if you put your mind to it, but it helps if your mind isn’t elsewhere and to be honest I don’t give a hoot about maths. I do it because I have to, not because I want to. I want to make films.
