I'd expected a bit more notice of this, but... my award-winning short film, Nothing for Granted is finally online and free to watch. With the astonishing pair of @cathyconneff.bsky.social and CJ Halse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln-6...

Le Boucher (1970) Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie (1972)* De Gaulle: Rèsistance and Liberté (2026) La película infinita (2018) Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom (2026) * Yes, a ludicrous prior omission on my part, I know.

Because I like B-sides (and indeed Double A-sides) the second half of this (free) post is a review of a film 99 years younger than Napoleon and about as different from it as you can imagine. That's maybe worth a click through and subscribing for free or even £1.00 a month?
