"I'm Not A Wannabe... I'm a Gonnabe!"

"I'm Not A Wannabe... I'm a Gonnabe!" - this phrase is screamed every morning at 9 am when the doors to Disney's Hollywood Studios open to the general public and these words have stuck with me ever since I was a little girl in princess dresses and bobby socks. From a very young age I knew that my greatest love was Cinema, its enticing majesty and awe-inspiring technology has always amazing and influenced my work. My name is Courtney Madincea and I want to become a screenwriter and a director as soon as I can, but for now studying media helps me come to grips with how the industry really works, through the glitz and glamour into the more technical and nitty-gritty side of things. Some of my favorite films which have deepened my passion for film include: Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Murder:Story of a Murderer and Waltz with Bashir. I love an array of films - more independent movies that focus on story telling rather than summer blockbusters that focus on easy plots and easy money. Film for me isn't a form of entertainment, it is an art form that many can try but few really succeed at. Film is about transporting the audience into an alternate reality and enticing them into the world of fictional characters and magical beings. I love film.
