My First Film Festival Experience

My first film festival experience was attending the 23rd Raindance Film Festival in London in November 2015.

If you have ever seen me when I am wearing my jacket, you may have noticed a white badge I always wear on my collar. I was handed that badge when I entered the festival and have worn it ever since. To me it is a symbol of everything I stand for and to continue to pursue my dream of working in film. If I ever feel unmotivated to make a film, I simply look down to it and remind myself how important it is to me. A constant reminder that I carry around with me.

It also acts as a motivation tool. When at the festival, I saw these great films that were  made with small independent budgets, and I mingled with likeminded people passionate about film, and these factors brought home to me that if they can do it, so can I. And one day, I will.
