Today’s lecture really threw me for a loop, I understood quite little of everything that was discussed… and having a look over Brief 4, I can only add to that confusion.

Read more "blog #24: PANAYIOTA GRIGORIOU"Today I completed, shot, produced, filmed, wrote (trying to think of other movie roles to make me sound professional when I’m really not) and EDITED (nailed it!) my Brief 3 film on my grandmother, Panayiota Grigoriou.

Read more "blog #14: does this hat suit me?"For my text for Brief 1, I’ve chosen to just use one word. My word is: FATE In 2014 I was involved in a serious car accident as I drove to visit my parents at their place of work in the Barossa Valley region about an hour drive from the city of Adelaide. I started […]
