My new music video for @juliacumming_'s 'My Life' single on @partisanrecords has been out for one week. It was a hugely fun one to put together. Please enjoy the FULL video here! It's mostly one single shot (take 14, since you asked) and I couldn't even begin to make a vid like this without an AMAZING crew who worked their socks off. Full credits in previous posts and eternal thanks to them all.

More Oliver Reed! Check him out dancing up a storm in one of my favourite UK cult movies, Edmond T. Gréville’s BEAT GIRL (1960): a wonderfully lurid trip through the beatnik coffee bars and strip clubs of Soho. Set to John Barry’s fantastic score (his first), this scene sees Gillian Hills’ teen temptress heading down to a Soho basement and frugging away with Ollie Reed in the checked shirt. Enjoy.

Too many movies coming out on the same weekend. Spread them out! They don't all have to come out in October.

Hey UK! The delicious trio of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ and THE WORLD’S END has found a new home on @Film4. Delighted to have our tales of zombies, village conspiracies and catastrophically ill-advised pub crawls all together on the channel. They’re playing now, with another round starting this Saturday: SHAUN on October 24th, FUZZ on the 26th and WORLD’S END on the 27th, all at 9pm. All three films (plus @lastnightinsoho) are streaming free on @Channel4. Get the Cornettos in.

We shot the aftermath first. Then redressed everything to shoot the 'before times' after. The ace steadicam operator was Paul Edwards. It was the first day of the shoot on the film too!
SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004) uses the exact same walk before and after the zombie outbreak, turning an ordinary morning routine into a brilliant visual joke. The attention to detail is unreal.

With the late, great Oliver Reed currently wowing 2026 audiences all over again with his incredible performance in the restored version of Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’, I wanted to share this amazing clip of him from 1985. The rather low-res clip comes from ‘In at the Deep End’, a BBC series in which presenter Paul Heiney tries his hands at a profession he had zero experience in. For this episode, Heiney was preparing for an acting role opposite Michael Caine in ‘Water’ and went to Oliver Reed for some pointers on how to play a villain. Please enjoy what happens next.

The two movies dominating film discourse this weekend are a new restoration of a film from 1971 and a 3 hour documentary from Nathan Fielder. What a time to be alive.

Listened to @RealGDT and @edgarwright. Went to see Ken Russell’s The Devils last night and we loved it. A film firing on all cylinders.

Thrilled to celebrate the 5th anniversary of LAST NIGHT IN SOHO at @am_cinematheque’s fabulous Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, October 25th at 7pm. Even better, I’ll be joined by Eloise herself, the wonderful Thomasin McKenzie, for a Q&A after the film, where we’ll revisit the swinging sixties and neon-lit nightmares. The film will be presented in its magnificent Atmos mix, so it’s going to sound incredible. The Egyptian is probably haunted, so perhaps we’ll wake a few ghosts in time for Halloween. americancinematheque.com/now… #AmericanCinematheque @lastnightinsohomovie
