Focus Your Mind, Body and Soul
I used to get laughed at for my music tastes because they were a lot like my grandfatherās. The great thing about it though was that every time I listened to one of my grandfatherās favourite songs, I would remember him. He died when I was about nine yearsā old and I miss him every single day even as I near twenty-five. Whilst I was studying for my MA degree a few years back, I would listen to various songs that I felt could focus my mind and help me remember my grandparents - all of which are gone. The rockabilly age is possibly my favourite age of all time and with its repetitive and catchy beats, it can help you remember pretty much anything. Old jazz music and dark soul songs, American Folk Revival and Motown are just some of the genres of music that are on my playlist that I would use for studying. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for even considering my playlist because I have been bullied so badly for my taste in music. It was never the next new Katy Perry song, even though I respect those who do like that music. Music is really up to you, but this one is up to me and so here we go. Here are five songs on my playlist to give you an overview of how I get focused. Hopefully, it helps you a bit too.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1998)
In this chapter of āthe filmmakerās guideā we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

10 Great Non-Fiction Novels I Have Read in 2020
I have read a great set of non-fiction novels during 2020 and in this article, I want to share some of those with you. The influence for writing this article came from seeing others posting about great non-fiction books they had read and taking inspiration from other recommendations on my Goodreads and social networking accounts. Non-fiction has been on the rise for me lately since fiction and especially fantasy fiction have moved unfortunately further and further away from my to-be-read lists. It was something I could appreciate far more when I was a teenager. Since I became twenty-one, Iāve wanted to read more and more non-fiction and not just true crime, thereās historical non-fiction, thereās biography and autobiography, thereās philosophical non-fiction and essays etc. Iāve been reading a lot of non-fiction lately and this year has been my most prominent year for the genre. Hopefully, you too can get some recommendations from this list and if youāve read any of them (or all of them) then thatās even better. I would love to see your lists of recommendations as well!

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Devil All the Time" (Netflix, 2020)
āThe Devil All the Timeā (2020) is the much-anticipated film starring Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson with a supporting cast that includes the likes of Riley Keogh, Sebastian Stan, Mia Wasikowska and others. A Southern Gothic Romantic Horror is the best way to describe this film. It is something set in the times of the deteriorating Southern Places and the newer age of on-coming listlessness. Between World War Two and the Vietnam War, there are many other tragedies, each unfolding in different subplots that converge upon each other as the protagonist gets closer and closer to his mark and his mark gets closer and closer to his doom. As the story unravels, generations of family unfold into these tragedies, unable to cope and nowhere to turn, they prove in madness and terror that their God cannot save them now. As wives perish in cancers and murders, as men grow older and as husbands lament their wives to death, this film is gathering the conscience of everyone who ever saw the South disappear into roads and roads of emptiness and spewing it out into a violence against dishonesty. The grim and lifeless atmosphere beats in the heart of anyone who dares re-watch this modern classic of the Southern Gothic tale of love on the run, murder gone wrong and a resurrection attempt most foul.
