It’s Always Darkest Before Dawn.
Last term I was so unwell I barely wrote in this blog, but I struggled through anyway. I got my assignments in and although I know I could have done a better job, sometimes just getting it done is enough of an achievement. I’m trying to be kinder to myself…

With DVD titles like The Aristocats, Fast and Furious and Sonic the Hedgehog,…

This is the end my friend.
(Of the first term!) I thoroughly enjoyed my first term and feel I have learnt a lot. I’m nervous to get my first marks back but I also know I still have a lot to learn and marks aren’t the be all and end all. In my break I plan…

Writer’s statement – first draft.
I was inspired during an online first aid quiz I was taking for work and I started getting distracted, wondering what I would do if there was a need to give CPR at the moment (I counted as vulnerable and was in isolation for 12 weeks). So I started to…

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 ; )
