Catching up with some contributor copies. It’s always a thrill to see your name in print and I loved contributing to these two publications for the team at We Belong Dead.

We Belong Dead’s Japanese double issue has just won a Special Recognition at the Rondo Awards. Honoured to have been part of the team, I wrote about the careers of Takashi Miike & Kinji Fukasaku. Thanks, as always, to Eric McNaughton and Darrell Buxton, and congrats to all of my fellow contributors.

So honoured to have contributed to this epic collection of Michael Haneke films from Umbrella Entertainment. I wrote an essay on the director’s muses Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche and Susanne Lothar plus I recorded two video essays for the set.

Farewell to a legend! The French Connection, The Conversation, Superman: The Movie, Bonnie and Clyde, Unforgiven and so many more. RIP Gene Hackman

Such a thrill to work with @cynthiawangmedia.bsky.social, Jacqueline Page, Mara Reinstein and the team on this beautifully designed bookazine. I wrote about Audrey Hepburn’s impressive cinematic back catalogue and her legacy and influence as a style icon in the movies.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. An exhaustive examination of a Hollywood classic that still provokes consternation whenever it is screened, I wrote about the film's legacy and position in popular culture and explore the locations that inspired the studio bound production.

By Grabthar's hammer, this was a fun magazine to work on. Thrilled to share pages with @cynthiawangmedia.bsky.social and Mara Reinstein and love the designs by Herman Vega. I contributed to a chapter on the characters from the film and deep dived into sci-fi classics that influenced the filmmakers.

Pick up the latest issue of The Big Issue Australia to read my review of Mohammad Rasoulof’s extraordinary The Seed of The Sacred Fig.

Work announcement! Tarsem Singh’s magnificent The Fall for Umbrella Entertainment. Thrilled to have contributed a “making-of” essay for the accompanying book and interviews with production designer Ged Clarke and cinematographer Colin Watkinson for the disc extras.

RIP to one of my favourite directors. I hold so many wonderful David Lynch memories, often tangled with friends and loved ones, some now lost. I met him in Brisbane where I took this photo. When I told him how much his films meant to me, he replied, “That’s really neat!”.

I’ve been writing about Rock Biopics at Flicks… www.flicks.com.au/features/bes...

After working on Christopher Smith’s Triangle, Creep and Severance for Umbrella Entertainment, I’m delighted to announce I wrote an essay on the life and many deaths of Sean Bean for their new release of the director’s gruelling exercise in Pagan horror, Black Death.
