Frances Ha is romanticism of adult failures, growing up and those damned twenties: the time when we are meant to have our lives pretty much sorted out.

About me

I'm currently a student at Regents University London, studying screenwriting and producing. Since I can remember I have been passionate about films. In recent years I've broaden my interests and skills into visual arts and journalism.
Having spent a year in Paris I rekindled my interest in drawing using different mediums as well as taking Psychology classes.
I currently write for Amor Magazine as a fashion writer and did a short course in fashion journalism at Central Saint Martins.
I am a member of the National Youth Theatre and completed their summer senior course in acting.
I hope to create stories through various mediums and hope to meet people that are willing to share their stories and ideas with me.
