The Gorge 2025
Two top snipers are assigned to towers on either side of a gorge in an unknown location and told to prevent anything coming out and not to communicate with each other (as if). Levi’s defences soon crumble in the face of Drasa’s flirtatious assault and inevitably chaos ensues.

Kneecap 2024
Watching this film was like being at a party where you really really don’t belong. You don’t know how you got here but you are very much aware of being with people from a different world and you have no idea how to relate to them. The whole thing happens at breakneck speed and you have never seen so many drugs in your whole life. It’s exhausting, kind of exhilarating and confusing as hell. Very very worried about my date with Kneecap at Wythenshawe Park later this year and whether I am going to be as confused and out of place as the first time around.
