Randall Park’s #Shortcomings is a lot of fun. Witty, bright, on-the-nose, very modern rom-com. And I want the spin off with Timothy Simons character, please. #Sundance2023

Brand new Total Film in which I got very lucky. Spent time with the mighty #JasonSchwartzman to talk shoes, family and Asteroid City. And dived into one of the year's best horrors, Aussie bros Danny and Michael Philippou's chiller #TalkToMe. A24. Don't miss!!
“Being a composer is a bit like being punched in the face a lot.” Great masterclass with Britain’s Daniel Pemberton (also on BluSky same name) Mediterrane Film Festival
Eric Bana masterclass Mediterrane Film Festival. The Aussie star was asked how he deals with fame. “Live in denial and pick up dog poo.” Good answer.
Got to write about two of the best films this year in the new issue of Total Film. A deep-dive into Celine Song's joyous #PastLives. And a chat with Harris Dickinson for his brilliant British film #Scrapper. And that's just part of a fraction of the juicy movie content!
