Trying to fall in love with film again.

I try not to get too personal on the internet especially not on the blog. Mostly because this blog is meant for film reviews, however, this is going to be an exception. The decision to write this post was also spontaneous as I decided to write it while working on my review for The Batman.

This blog has been active since 2018 and up until last year, I endeavored to have a new post out at least once a week, and I did. And then came Instagram. I initially started using Instagram as a way to drive views here and slowly that evolved into using Instagram as a film review tool much like this one. I had new reviews and Throwback Thursdays on the blog as well as Terrible Movie Tuesday on Instagram.

2020 was probably my best year ever in terms of content, ever. I put out 98 movie reviews that year as well as launched a segment on my Instagram called ‘Influencer Interview.’ I even did a 30-Day Movie Challenge where as the name implies, I reviewed 30 movies in 30 days.

That came to a head in 2021.

It started off well, or as well as it could have, seeing as lockdown was still the norm in most of the world. It was all good till I re-started school at the beginning of February after 11 months and found out my exams were at the end of March. Cue intense study mode which meant content creation ground to a halt.
