25 Years of Grouchos

Last night was the final Grouchos party celebrating its 25 years. After that was karaoke night, ending with the karaoke staple Total Eclipse of the Heart - everyone singing their little hearts out (including Tracy Emin). A full night at Grouchos means leaving trusty bicycle behind - of course. I always worry when I do that because the little hooks outside Grouchos mean your bike is barely locked up at all. But on my way in this morning I was greeted by two policemen & lots of blue & white tape surrounding it! What happened there? I thought maybe it was a bit of overkill, but gratefully all the same, I retrieved it & cycled off to work.

BIFA Crocodile and Baby

BIFA has had a great idea in this period of Coronavirus lockdown - they have made all the BIFA nominated and winner shorts over the past 10 years available to view for FREE. How lovely to see BABY and CROCODILE up there and among such an exciting batch of films - great to be able to watch them all.

Films in LFF2019

This year my highlight of the festival was going to NFT1 to listen to an interview with Céline Sciamma, fabulously talented French writer director of Water Lilies, Tomboy, Girlhood (writer of the animated My Life as a Courgette) and in this year’s festival - her period piece Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

First Time Directors

I have been thinking about the stigma and the draw surrounding this title. All my feature projects - and I guess my shorts too in terms of “feature status” - are pretty much with first time directors. Sometimes I long to be at the stage where I can be working with more established directors – albeit them also being the first-timers I’m working with, only them (and me) having MADE that first feature!!! –. Get me out of perpetual development please…
