interviewees

I recently had some interesting conversations with friends of mine who have amazing stories of overcoming trials and tribulations in their lives.. these people are so inspiring. One of my favourite stories though has been the fascinating and motivational life of a guy I have known for years.. at only 30 years old he has quickly risen to the top positions in corporate law.. has played football (soccer) professionally for Parramatta, has released a single which he composed and performed, as well as being accepted into NIDA, and being accepted into an AFTRS presenting competition, vying for a spot on cable tv.. Oh and did i mention doing TWO university masters.. AT THE SAME TIME!!
This guy is just amazing, he is a DJ on the weekend in Sydneys club scene and is a funny and charismatic guy...
He has agreed to be apart of my film, so this should be great..
Next up.. i'm looking for another interviewee.. maybe a woman...hhmmm

Colaboration..

Today, I realised i had a similar interest and perspective on the topic of peoples life journey's and experiences, as did a friend if mine. Purely by coincidence it come up in conversation. We have decided to make this film together, with her knowledge and interest alongside mine. I'm really excited, I know that coming from completely different backgrounds we can both contribute great ideas and make our film relatable to anyone..

We both have some great ideas on how we want our film to look.. Warm, inviting, friendly, we'll get this feel from shooting in the morning light, using a big range of angles etc..

Who am I??

Welcome..

Hi I'm Leah, a student at UTS in Sydney, studying film...

Living in the heart of Kings Cross, I have come across a lot of different walks of life.. many of which i use as inspiration in my writing.. as an aspiring film maker i see stories in everything..

i'm going to take you on a journey of my area, getting to know the locals and the tourists, all living radically different lives and experiencing their own adventures. Sometimes it can make us re-evaluate everything we know, when faced with the troublesome life of someone else.
It can make us appreciate the things we take for granted and really notice the important people in our lives..

Thats what i want to do.. I want to really feel.

My parents always use to say, "There is always someone else out there worse off than you, so appreciate what you do have"... This always made me feel guilty for wingeing about the little things... "I don't have this", or "Why me"...

There are people out there who face the most difficult of obstacles and come out of it with a positive outlook or an important lesson learnt.. we can all learn from this way of thinking..

Well thats me..
