My Love For Films

My love for films started at a very young age, my dads a big film lover so thats probably where I got it from. When I did media studies in high school it only heightened my interest. I not only love watching films but also finding out how they are made and put together, the BTS became as interesting as the film to me.

I’ve been reviewing films since I was about 16, however I never posted them. anywhere it was more of just a hobby back then. My friends and family are actually the ones that convinced me to start posting online and to set up this blog.
