From time to time, while I’m writing screenplays and plotting and planning new movies I’ll post something here from past, present or future… (although how does one post from the future exactly…?) detailing something I’m working on, or going to, or planning.

After years of online friendship and chats and plotting and planning, I finally met up with the legend that is Katy Cowan of Creative Boom, for a fun afternoon in Manchester.

Katy is like my sister from another mister: we share the same goonish sense of humour and love of art, culture and perhaps most importantly MOVIES, which brings me to the crux of our new project: as mentioned a few times on the Creative Boom podcast, Katy and I are launching a new movie podcast this spring called The Films That Ruined Us. This new podcast will cover two movies each week in different categories that Katy and I have picked from our long histories: whether it’s deeply traumatic film experiences, or beloved stories we’ve obsessed about for decades.

Although we’re both movie fanatics, I’ll be coming at it from the added perspective of being a filmmaker, and Katy will dive deeply into her psyche to unravel just why these particular movies have had such an impact on us.

Finally, here are some snippets from a photoshoot we did to provide artist Sam Gilbey with reference for the podcast poster: take a look… maybe you can guess what we’re channelling here. And as the last pic shows, I couldn’t take it seriously for long.
