Culture 24 interview

By in Acting, Art, Interviews

Click to read the interview

Since Self Made was released, just one journalist has shown an interested in interviewing any of the participants. That person is Mark Sheerin from Culture 24, and he is the only writer to approach me in order to discover more about the experiences of a participant in Self Made. There have been many critics all too ready to rubbish the film, claiming it was exploitative, and yet not one of those detractors so much as bothered to think so far as to ask us what we thought.

Special thanks to Mark and everyone that asked me a question at each Q&A session I attended.

Yes, this is my first review in quite some time. No, I didn’t like the album.

Read the review over at Music OMH. Or just don’t buy the record.

Cheers.

[Watch] Tyrannosaur

By in Film

Missed it at the cinema, but picked up on blu ray. A powerful and well constructed drama, I don’t see why people would complain about a ‘bleak’ storyline. There’s a lot of heart here, and Olivia Coleman puts in a stunning performance. Emotive. Redemptive. Rewarding.
