I went to the Media Information Day in London, dragged my friend Hannah along for the experience and just in case it was soooo boring that we wanted to dive into London (which we did). But I was surprised by the variety of cultures, ages, gender and attitudes. I was half expecting 30,000 film geeks, obviously there were a few. But I was surprised to note that it was mostly girls (we rock). I was pleased to feel that I wasn't the only film geek in the building and that girls don't just want to be journalists. Hannah was completely taken in by it and I think she got more out of it than I did not because I didn't want to but because I knew most of it through research and college. I did find that I was maybe five years too late with regard to most of it as I think it was aimed at mostly 18 year olds deciding about uni but it was worth the risk and Hannah and I had a blast in London after getting lost on the train but one thing I would say. There are people who are there to help...and they have been there. I did come out having more of an idea that maybe I am destined to be a Producer after all whether it be for television or film. Even if I did turn my nose up at the beginning towards television. I know now its the experience that counts not the projects.
