I was born in….
East London
I now live in…
Bristol
But if I could live anywhere, it would be…
a tropical Bristol
Right now, I’m binge-watching…
Finally got round to Devs
The last track I listened to was…
Let It Burn - Goat
I dream about…
going to a gig again
The app I couldn’t survive without is…
Waze (terrible sense of direction)
Social media is…
a contradiction
When we can travel again, I’ll be heading to…
Newcastle for Christmas hopefully
The most important lesson I’ve learned in 2020…
don't throw away those little bottles of hand sanitizer you've collected from flights
The best/worst thing about lockdown was…
legitimately avoiding certain people/desperately missing certain others
What the film industry needs is…
a catchy theme tune
The film I wish I’d made…
So many. The latest one was probably Ben Wheatley's Sightseers
My biggest inspiration is…
random. Dead corny I know but it genuinely can come from anywhere. The more unexpected the better
The person I would canonise is…
Richard Dawkins. Just to annoy him
My last meal would be…
something light
