The next Ultra Culture Cinema is The Cabin in the Woods. I’m excited.
I’ve written about some of the Ultra Culture zines I’ve made over the years for Laura Snapes’s fab blog Zineage Kicks. Check it.

Six months in making: TEENAGE WASTELAND.

Eight films to look forward to in 2012 (via Ultra Culture)
This week, I was lucky enough to be part of a ‘select bunch of British film industry movers and shakers’ asked by Time Out London to make a wish for cinema in 2012. Luckier still, I was part of an even select-er bunch whose contributions were thrown straight in the bin.

In 2012, I hope to see at least one movie in which an arrogant, self-obssessed, massively overweight woman in her late 40s is rabidly pursued by a succession of beautiful young men - all seduced by her apparently boundless animal magnetism. And once I’ve seen that, I’ll happily sit through whatever Kevin James has coming out.
