About

I am currently a college media student with a passion for film and criticism.

As an aspiring writer, I have always had an urge to write, constantly trying to hone my abilities by practising and learning from those esteemed in the field.

In terms of film, I am currently striving to broaden my knowledge by exposing myself to the variety of content the medium has created in an attempt to broaden my understanding of film, hopefully finding new films to adore and marvel at.

My taste is very broad, although usually dissuades me from full-blown blockbusters, finding myself more inclined towards smaller productions and art-house offerings. I also have a real love for animation considering it as an art form which can transcend age, offering universality in its story-telling.
