Welcome!
Welcome to the Cozy Corner! My name is Madi Cullen, I'm twenty years old and am from New Zealand. I'm currently a communications student at Massey University in the city of Wellington and am wanting to pursue a career within the film and entertainment industry. Ever since I was little I've always had an interest in celebrities, films, social media, etc never thought I'd ever look at it as a career path though. I've always viewed actors or celebrities as normal people which sounds odd because they are still normal people but just had odd careers that allow them to be known by lots of people. Celebrity has always been an odd concept to me as I tend to view celebrity as someone more superior or 'godlike' but the 'celebrities' I'm invested in I don't see them as that, because they're so down to earth, therefore, I feel like I wouldn't get starstruck because I've separated that barrier from my brain and have told myself to see them as normal people. However people like Barak Obama or the Queen I admire as being superior because they're already in a position of power and have done things that I don't think I could ever do, and I view the Kardashians as celebrities but there is often a negative conception with these people. People have asked me which part of the film or entertainment industry would you like to work in and I've never had a one-word answer for that because I want to explore all different avenues of the industry, such as in the film industry I've like to work both in front of the screen or behind the scenes, such as being an executive producer has been something that's interested me or even simply being an assistant, or maybe act. I also love fashion and the business side of the entertainment industry which I'd love to also explore. I've had many interests in different films such as I've recently this year got into the Marvel films, I also love British films like Notting Hill or Love Actually, I love films about true stories such as the Impossible as I enjoy learning about history and of course I love Harry Potter and Disney! The television or Netflix series I watch consist of Friends, Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, and Stranger Things. I also have an interest in travel as after or during university I'd love to go and live in another country such as I want to move to London and travel o the states as I feel there are more opportunities within the industry I want to go into the outside of my country. One of the film companies I'd love to work one day is Marvel, as I love their films and I feel there's a good environment within their studio's as in interviews the cast of Marvel have said it's like a 'strange family' and that's an environment I'd love to work in one day, and obviously be surrounded by the talent Marvel brings to their films. However, I'm open to other film companies as well. This blog allows me to explore my love for film and entertainment, even more, and I hope you will enjoy going on this journey with me! Please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments so I can get to know some of you and leave any suggestions for my blog in the comments!!
