About Me

So, yeah, I'm Gregg. I have a big interest in media production and scriptwriting. I finished my degree in Media Studies at De Montfort University with a 2:1 grade and now I'm back there doing an MA in TV Scriptwriting, which is pretty cool and I'm enjoying it a lot. I did want to go into directing but attempting that during my degree put me off that for good.While doing my course I'm working at House of Fraser, which I guess is okay. It pays alright, there are a lot of cool people there and a lot of inspiration for my scripts. The downside includes the silly shifts, some annoying co-workers I will not name and always having to wear sodding black.I also love playing bass and guitar and writing songs, my band is another big interest, although that's not really gone anywhere. At one point, some record companies really liked a rough demo (mini-disc recordings from a single microphone in a rehearsal room) a friend decided to send off, but then we never made the full proper demo (they wanted to be able to make out the actual lyrics we were singing) and so that's the end of that for now.
