I'm a college student studying Psychology (focusing on deception) and Film. Kind of eclectic but thats just me.
For the longest time my friend (who is a screenwriter) and I would go to the movies and I would say after watching a particularly bad one that this could have been written better or that could have been done better and she finally challenged me to write my own screenplay. So that's how I got into screenwriting.
It's not my passion though, I plan on applying to The London Film School in a few years after I'm out of college to learn the ins and outs of being a director. But every director must b a good storyteller so I write.
