I find the beginning of the year to be an exciting time full of possibilities. I always make a list of things I’d like to achieve by the time the bells ring in at hogmanay. Travel, work and meeting new people are important to me. In truth, work takes up a lot of space on the list. I usually hope for new projects and so far I have been fortunate. I realise that in order to secure new work I need to free up my time, therefore after a year and a half with Cinema Without Borders I resigned from my role as Blog Editor. I have enjoyed writing articles on film, creating press releases and having an active voice in the CWB community. My thanks go to Editor Bijan Tehrani for the opportunity.
