Brilliant Q&A last night hosted by BAFTA Fellowship winner Sandy Powell OBE at @everymancinema for @MoonageMov

Was great to ask Producer/Writer/Director/Editor @brettmorgen about the sound design in the film. What a masterclass in documentary. Inspirational.

Go and see it!

Amazing effort of the local community at the White Eagle Club in Balham today taking donations for people in Ukraine- open until 5pm today for donations of essential items, nappies, clothing etc

Ascension is just…wow - a must watch.

After watching Cow this week as well it’s been really eye-opening to see films that are connecting us to the surreal realities of supply chain.

Thoroughly recommend Some Kind Of Heaven @skohfilm by @DarrenAronofsky on Netflix. Dry humour alongside very touching scenes - and some of the best cinematography I have seen in a while.
