The truth about Lola's life

The truth about who I am. I'm not the girl you see on screen. That's just a part of me. Sometimes that part is non existent. I used to be bubbly, confident and independent. That was until my buried traumas caught up with me unexpectedly. I started 2018, the same way I did every year. Scared and paranoid that bad things were going to happen. Little did I know, those bad things were around the corner and they were here to stay.  March 2018, most won't remember much about it except maybe Beast from the East, that massive snow storm and blizzard. For me, it was the month things changed forever and I still don't understand it myself. I was getting ready for a photoshoot with my friends, I was about ready to go when suddenly and I mean suddenly I felt really ill. Unable to move off the floor without everything spinning or going dark. That luckily passed but more followed. Headaches, paranoia, delusions, psychotic symptoms over nothing at all. My world shut down, I couldn'...

Neurodiverse Characters In My Universe

Little does everyone know, in every show I write, there will be a neurodiverse character. I feel it's important to represent the struggles, challenges and benefits of living with a condition that falls under the category. As someone neurodiverse, I grew up with no decent representation at all and that is very lonely and isolating. Luckily things have progressed enough to have some accuracy but it's still not good enough. There's major inconsistencies at times due to lack of research. I want to change that! I myself am autistic but I also suffer from severe psychotic symptoms. When people think of psychotic, it gives off bad vibes and that's not always the case. It doesn't mean I'm crazy, it just means my brain doesn't always function the way I wish it would. It gets triggered and I end up with dissociation, delusions and hallucinations. It hurts that when people hear that, they automatically jump to conclusions. I want to show that, I'm not a serial kill...

Screenwriting Advice

I think I have the right at this point in my life to talk about writing advice for others. I have wrote multiple TV shows, short films and even songs to go with them. I started writing creatively when I could pick up a pen. I was never afraid to show what bizarreness came from inside my imagination. When I say bizarre, I mean it. I'm surprised they didn't lock me up, some of the ideas were plain wild. Anyway, not the point. Let's just say, some of the best writing can come from ideas like it.  My ideas come from my dreams. I've always dreamt lucidly from the time my brain developed. Sometimes they're lucid and on a rare occasion, they're premonitions. I gotta be careful at times as I definitely don't want my life imitating art again. It's happened and god damn, I freaked. I was sitting there with deja vu like "Why have I experienced this?" it clicked a while later when reading my own work. One of my earlier We Are Gold episodes, it was exactly ...

The Double L Show

Image
 Introducing: The podcast hosted by Lee and Lola hence the title. This was an idea created by Lola in October 22 after they had done many zooms and realised how much their humour lined up. The show started off as an outlet to talk about TV shows, films and special interests. It later developed into a platform to interview celebrities. We have since spoked to many well known actors from all over the world. It is hard to believe how far this has came in such a short amount of time. We have an IMDB page and not to mention have gained ourselves some famous followers, which is the coolest part, no JK, famous people knowing who we are is the coolest. It makes a great conversation starter.  We're always looking for guests and collaborators so let us know if this is something you'd be interested in. If you love TV shows, especially crime dramas, join us one week.

Her last year starts off to a bad start when her friend group starts drama, when she has a makeover and becomes a new person. Unknowingly to Maya, the real drama is the fact her parents have just started working at the school.  This show was wrote by Lola in December 2011, she was being bullied and didn't have many friends.  The first draft was wrote on a cold Monday morning, the last before the Christmas holidays so she had a free lesson in the computer room during hard tech aka wood work. Before she knew it, the script was wrote, a universe of characters and important stories followed. She worked on this show till 2016 then had a 4 year break till 2020, when she reinvented...

 Introducing: We Are Gold follows American billionaire family, The Gold's as they work through conflict, business and trying to love one another. It follows the perspective of Tiffany Gold, who just left rehab and finds her world has fell apart. She's sent to live with her estranged Auntie, Halo which ends up being the best thing that could ever happen.  The short film version follows the friction caused between siblings Tiffany and Marcus as they adapt to a regular life style. Tiffany makes a new friend, Isabella but Marcus feels the need to crash her plans, causing a ruckus.  Originally wrote in 2016, this show has gone through many varieties but seeing Americans try to function in the UK, always felt right. I mean, like, there's huge lifestyle differences between LA and fictional "Melrose" located in the North of the UK.
