What is one film that you think everyone should watch? And why?
Iron Giant: a heartfelt tale that evokes emotion and is relevant film about acceptance.

What films did you watch as a child?
Scooby Doo, both animated and live action. Favourite of the bunch has to be Scooby Doo the Cyber Chase. Or Zombie Island.
Favourite director?
I’ve always been inspired by Tim Burton and directors that make compelling storylines that make you sit and think after watching, like Christopher Nolan.
What is one film that you think everyone should watch? And why?
Knives Out. It’s my favourite film to date. Everything from the script to set design to acting is pure genius. I have watched it so many times and still cannot fault it.
If you could adapt any book/play/piece of literature, which would it be?
A great book I read not too long ago was the Labrador Pact by Matt Haig. If I ever got to adapt a piece of literature, that would be the top of my list.
Who are your favourite writers? (this could be from any format - script, books, poetry etc.)
I would probably have to say Matt Haig again or Wes Anderson
Name a film score that makes you feel something.
Last Son from the latest Superman film. David Fleming nails the uplifting and inspiring melody needed for Superman. It was soon added to my Spotify playlist after hearing it for the first time.
Who is an actor that you would love to work with?
How long is a piece of string?? There are hundreds of actors and actresses I would love to work with. I couldn’t put a name to one because ten more appear in my head.
What was the last film you watched? (and would you recommend it?)
Wolf of Wall Street. I would recommend it though it was a hard watch which I will tip my hat off to DiCaprio and Scorsese for a thought wrenching film
What films did you watch as a child?
Lemony Snicket a series of Unfortunate Events (I rewatched this the other day and it is in my opinion an absolute banger of a film), Gremlins, The Lion King, Little Mermaid, & Peter Pan (Live action 2003 version!)
Favourite director?
Coen Brothers (when they make them together…)
What is one film that you think everyone should watch? And why?
