  • 48 Hours in the Making

     One weekend per year, a film-making challenge is held in the Midlands – where local filmmakers team up to produce a film in relation to the genre provided to them and within two days precisely.

  • The Northern London(?)

     Hello, once again. There were other topics I intended to discuss for this month.

  • The Graduation That Occurred Better Late Than Never

      Hello everybody. I thought I’d share an important update with you. Before I do so, those who read my previous blog posts will know that I studied a master’s course in Creative Writing.

  • RIP June Brown + Why Dot Is My Favourite EastEnders Character

     In one of the blog posts I wrote last month, Happy International Women’s Day (2022), I gave a brief tribute to Lynda Baron. This time, I’m writing this post as a tribute to another celebrity who has died earlier this month. As you probably can tell from the title, I’m referring to June Brown. June…
