Monday, July 2nd, 2007Hi Trudy,
Wow ten years how time fly’s, well of the 4 years i spent there i had a lot of fun times learning about myself, the art of acting, singing dancing etc theatrics and what takes really to get into showbiz. Well since i left i continued to do Drama at GCSE but i have since given up acting in favour for working behind the scenes into directing and film editing etc. I have recently completed a BTEC national diploma in Media at Cleveland College Of Art And Design. Here i learned the art of film directing, camerawork, editing writing scripts etc. I produced and number of short films. One being a feature length horror film, a doumentary on the recent London Bombings on July the 7th, a promotional go karting video for teesside karting in middlesbrough and a live television show as part of a group in which formed part of my Final major project which i was part of a team of 15. I was a studio camera man and the second unit director filming and directing all of the VTs for the show.
Also at college i took part in the studio’s radio station and featured as a DJ for the 2 years on the college radio station Radio CCAD. I webcasted my shows on my own website http://www.djash.tk/Radio is currently one of my biggest interests as i have become a huge music lover listening to new bands, going to see gigs and music festivals etc. I am aiming to get a career in either TV, Film or Radio. Radio in particular.
Currently i have left home and now live in Newcastle and am a student at Northumbria University studying a media production degree.
Also on the side i have continued to sing, I sing in a rock band called Behind Your Smile www.myspace.com/behindyoursmile We are performing a gig at the Arc in stockton on the 7th of July at a young bands night for charity. On our site we have posted a number of cover songs you can listen to but we are also working on our own material.
This year i have been involved with a number of things two including i was an extra in a reality tv show called Gene Simmons Family Jewels featuring Gene Simmons the bass player from the Rock band KISS (http://www.aetv.com/genesimmons
