Into The Woods and Back Out Again
My Journey begins with a story, a story we’ve been telling ourselves for over 30.000 years. The story of who we are, what our purpose is and how we fit into this world. Chapter 22 of John Yorke’s ‘Into the Woods’ I found John Yorke’s explanations of why we tell…
Evalution Media Meets Eva Wilshere

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 ; )
