Inspirations...

Hi Everyone!
                    I think one of the biggest tests of any young person wanting to go into the creative industry is trying to juggle your passion with your education.

Education has also been very important to me and I realise now that dropping out of college or school to pursue acting is not a wise decision, not natter how much I really want it. There have been many stories, many involving actors and actresses whom I admire greatly; from Hilary Swank to Keira Knightley, who left school at 16 to pursue acting full time. Now, unless your parents or family members are in the industry and/or you're lucky enough to live in London or LA then fantastic! For me, this is not an option....

Also, another big 'problem' that really angers me actually is how young people say that they want to become actors or musician's but when asked why they say "because I want to be famous!" Now the best piece of advice that I can give you (which is taken from James McAvoy, who I've met so he won't mind  is...)

"Really decide if you want to be an actor and tell stories or if you want to be famous, because there are easier ways of becoming famous."  

So, there's my life motto/mantra for you all! Have a lovely weekend.
Lots of love,
Elizabeth

HighRise

'HIGHRISE'
Here's a recent article that I found concerning a project I'm working on in the next few months. 'HighRise' will be directed by the very talented Ben Wheatley (the man currently behind 'Doctor Who') and starring the stunning Tom Hiddleston.

'HighRise' is a Distopian Sci-fi novel written by J.G.Ballard about a group of residents living in a high-rise block of flats in a Thatcher Britain. The building is divided by class literally meaning the lower class are on the lower levels of the building and the upper class on the upper levels and so on. With tensions running high within the building, violence soon erupts and society begins to breakdown....

Shooting begins in June in London. More information coming soon.

Best Wishes,
Elizabeth.

Welcome!

Hi Everyone,
                   My name is Elizabeth Pennington and I'm a 17 year old actress living near the city of Liverpool. I wanted to create a blog to better keep up to date with what's happening in my life.... I can tell you that lots are.

About Me (in a nutshell)
I was born 4 months premature, weighing 600 grams (1lb 5oz) NOT A JOKE A ASSURE YOU!
I began acting at the age of 13 after I took part in a reconstruction of Titanic while in a drama class at my school and I've been hooked ever since!
I also have 5 lovely, but slightly crazy ferrets.... Smudge, Kipper, Poppy, Akikki and Moswen (African names, don't ask)

I am also applying to drama school in September and thought that it would be a good idea to share with you my thoughts and feelings and any tips and advice that I can offer you.

Lots of Love,
Elizabeth
