Week 24

Connected to YOU!

It's time for the final challenge in our 'connected' series. This time it's personal!

This week, we want you to watch a movie that has some sort of connection to you. But what does that mean exactly?

If you can connect the movie via any method, the more tenuous the more fun, then it would count for that challenge.

So for example you could watch a movie that:
✅Contains your name in the title
✅Contains a character/actor with your name
✅Your job/career is a plot point in the movie
✅Features your hobby
✅Is set in your home town/city
✅Is about/set in a country you've had a vacation in

The options are nearly endless. Let us know what you've watched, and if you want, tell us a bit about you by saying why you've watched that movie.

Suggestions

These movies are mentioned in the video as potential suggestions for the challenge.
