Matt Richards, 14
I’m studying drama and cinema, and this is my second year at this school. I come to drama school three times a week after school. Last year we learnt a lot about acting. This year we’re also learning how to write film scripts and how to use a camera. That’s great for me because I don’t want to be an actor. I want to be a film director and make great action films like Terminator or King Kong.
