It was a complete coincidence that I came across the London Screen Academy (LSA) - a prime example of being in the right place at the right time. I met an old friend who I had not seen for 10 years who was heading to a sixth form fair, so I went along with her. LSA was exhibiting. Talking to the academy made me realise that working in film and TV was not something you just dream about or do aside from your career like a hobby. It could be a viable financial option.
The woman was talking about job roles in film and TV that I had never heard of. I just thought that there were actors and directors, but there are so many roles that you can work in. Where I grew up, these things were never presented as an option. I did not realise that my love of Marvel films, that saw me getting up at some ridiculous hour when there was a new release to get tickets, could be translated into a career ambition.
