Travels in South East Europe
I have spent every free moment I’ve had over the last two years absorbed in my idea for a comedy (mock) reality-time-travel series that focuses on the Mesolithic era. I had always planned to travel Europe in the summer, originally to make a music documentary, but it worked out that…

Top 10 Halloween Episodes!
Happy Halloween! Samhain is upon us, and so I have curated a list of my favourite Halloween Episodes. Being the millennial that I am, many of these are from 90s or 00s television shows, so I shouldn’t really need to give a *spoiler alert* but here it is. I have…

Misfits
*Spoiler Alert* Broadcast on E4. IMDB says Comedy/ Drama/ Sci-Fi/ Fantasy (and Romance, but I would disagree) TV-MA or UK 18 certificate. Realism meets surrealism in a different, very British take on superpowers. I’ll be discussing the themes, tone and narrative in the pilot episode but I will mention the…

Brighton Fringe Festival 2024!
This is the first year I feel that I’ve really made the most of Brighton Fringe Festival. Working on two shows myself, Emotions In Motion at Brighton Unitarian Church, and Marvin and the Dodgyspinners at The Rotunda Theatre, meant that I was in Brighton for the whole of May! (Rather…

Self-supported Study
I find it difficult to know what to do sometimes and was nervous about the notion of self-supported studying. So far it’s been alright. I am lucky to have made some friends on my course, even though it’s online, and they have been helpful with advice and motivation. I have…
Evalution Media Meets Eva Wilshere
After graduating my Masters in Screenwriting with Distinction, I threw my heart and soul into making The Year Dot into a short film with a very low budget. With whimsical naivety I decided I wanted to give as many people work and pay everyone fairly while also keeping the production set environmentally sound and hiring a diverse cast & crew, including a fair few NDs. And if you hadn’t already worked out I am AuDHD and was in the midst of a few new diagnoses and waitlists!
As soon as Dot was finished and we had our cast & crew screening, the film started its Festival run and I through myself into the next thing. Namely my business Evalution Media, which is going pretty well considering it’s only regular employee is my wonderful PA Lily. I applied for Access to Work during my over-extended production and spent the first 6 months of having it, wishing I’d applied for it before attempting to make a film! Lily helps me keep the social media alive, because I’m not the biggest fan of taking photos of myself and find it tricky to write in short snappy phrases! Also planning. I can’t just log on for an hour once a day and get everything done, it has to be when my brain is in the zone and I need the correct atmosphere and equipment around me. why do you think I’ve only just started writing this again!
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy any content I manage to add here and if I’m slacking, it doesn’t hurt to remind me to add posts in the comments ; )
