Will I Ever Belong?

I'm interested in the stories hiding inside culture.
I'm finishing a Drama and English Literature degree at the University of Manchester, and most of what I make sits somewhere between the page, the microphone and the screen. I write features about music, film and the internet; I research, script and present a culture podcast; I've written a screenplay and worked on student film sets as an assistant director.
