I\u2019m expected to work with students from other courses that help me to produce films.

Surprisingly none of those activities make me fall asleep and are actually pretty entertaining. As I was told, directors are responsible for the final result of all films we make, which, essentially, turn us into dictators, which I found quite funny. Having full control over the work I\u2019m passionate about is something that makes me happy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">And if I\u2019m passionate about something, I\u2019m really in the mood to make it as perfect as I can, although keep in mind, it\u2019s not about ego here, but about respectable confidence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Every day on my course I realise that I\u2019m here to learn, to take risks and to challenge myself, respect others and listen to reasonable advice. Even at times when I have doubts and fears about what I\u2019m doing, I always try my best not to worry about that and focus the best that I can on my current goals to develop my skills and become a great professional because I know that BU is the best place to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The course I\u2019m doing is MA Directing Film &amp; Television.
