A little late to the party, but yes here is the first post on my blog.

I'm Aidan. I'm 19, and I'm a first year student currently taking a HND in Creative Media Production (Moving Image) at Belfast Metropolitan College. I've had a life-long interest in film but only over the past two years have I began to see it as a potential career. I clearly remember as a kid spending days upon days of watching certain films like Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Jumanji, Titanic, and many more. As a kid I loved the magical spectacle that these films had shown, but as I got older, I began to appreciate the darker edge they had hidden between the lines.

Basically, I would love to direct and write films. Here are a few people who are inspiring me on these two fronts:

• Sofia Coppola
• Diablo Cody
• Jason Reitman
• Zach Braff
• Tina Fey
• Will Gluck

I'll be going into a lot of different things that inspire me, from music to real-life people. But this is a start!
