30/12/2021 – Another year of obstacles, barriers, negativity, and the rich getting richer. On the flipside, professionally I moved on to a new job at Imperial College and was selected to develop my new film through the Midpoint Shorts programme. We will be pitching the script in Trieste, Italy during the When East Meets West co-production forum either in person or online. 2022 will be a year to further develop the project and start putting together a team of cast and crew to realise this idea for production during Summer 2023.

I usually like to make my top-10 list of films and tv that came out during the last year. I decided to go with 11 different works; all I think deserve a mention.

NO 11 – IT’S A SIN

NO 10 – SHIVA BABY

NO 9 – BARB & STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR (one of my favourite scenes of 2021!)

NO 8 – DRIVE MY CAR

NO 7 – THE WHITE LOTUS

NO 6 – ZOLA

NO 5 – DEREK DELGAUDIO’S IN & OF ITSELF

NO 4 – SUCCESSION SEASON 3

NO 3 – MASTER OF NONE SEASON 3

NO 2 – THE LOST DAUGHTER

NO 1 – NOMADLAND
