Backstory: Why I want to work in Television

Thursday, November 5, 2015


Hey guys! Merzy here! Today I would like to talk to you guys a little bit about why I want to work in the world of tv and where it all comes from. I've always been a big fan of TV,  it's just something that's always been in my life (and yours too probably). It's a huge factor for why I am the way I am and why I speak English so well. My mom tells me how when I was little I used to adore Angelica from Rugrats and even imitate her... which, okay, not the best rolemodel out there but well. 

Charmed was one -- if not the very first show I bought the season of on DVD and rented the seasons I didn't have so I can watch it in an order. But it wasn't until I discovered Smallville that everything changed for me. With Smallville, a show about the begginnings of Clark Kent as Superman, I discovered commentaries and this would be the main drive force to my fascination with living in the TV industry. I just found the whole process of building episodes and seasons so fascinating and it was so hard for me to believe that Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Chloe Sullivan and the whole town of Smallville and later Metropolis, wasn't real. And to this day, it's still hard for me to accept this even though the show has long sinc ended; it still feels real. 

I've always dreamed of writing for Smallville, so when it ended my heart broke with the knowledge that I was never going to accomplish that dream. But since the success of Arrow and The Flash, plus the amazing premier of Supergirl, the road towards my dream of writing for a DC Comics show might just be a reality some day. 

So, keep a look out for my name in a few years time.
