For years, I avoided keeping a weblog since many of those in existence seemed to be more about a pathological need for attention or self-indulgence, therefore drowing out sites with something to say.

However, the medium has evolved -perhaps I've evolved enough to take it seriously. A friend I used to work with over the summer gave me a list of sites worth reading, which was partly instrumental in restoring my faith in the blogger world. So I'll give this a try.

Another reason is I'm studying at the London Film School and am interested in posting problems and perspectives in making films to filmmakers and the public alike, along with event announcements for UK-based readers. This blog will remain semi-professional as I view it a personal extension of my film-based work. Not to say I won't write about non-school events but I feel over-reporting of personal lives is a misuse of confidence.

The first week of the Fall Semester is over. Thought I would began this blog sooner (actually before I left the states) but became too wrapped up in affairs related to school and accomodation. Gotten use to riding the London Underground, discovering that many British women have an innovative way of storing their tickets without having to store it in their handbags or pockets -using their cleveages (Take that Jordan!). Mind the gap.
