Kawe - Ooh, that's a tricky one. I guess I'd rather win the lottery and have fortune though!
Air - There are 2 movies that have had profound effects on me - Charlie Kaufman's Synechdoche, New York and Kevin McDonald's Life in a Day. Both left me shellshocked and weeping in packed cinemas. They're extremely affecting but I also knew I'd witnessed something truly special.
Sarah - Probably like, once a month? Pizza places aren't all that common around where I live really.

I've been really very well thank you - life is going very well at the moment. Better than I could have ever have hoped for!
I've got a full-time job as of September that is very different to anything I've done before and has taken up a lot of my time, but it's really exciting and is a massive learning curve which I'm thoroughly enjoying!

Kawe - Nice to have been missed I hope you're well! This year it's my girlfriend's turn to spend New Years with my family, so we'll be having a small gathering, potentially one too many drinks… but all with my family so it should be good, I'm really looking forward to it. Air - It's a little crazy as it all happened so fast but I'm the PA for the Festival Director at Sheffield International Documentary Festival, as well as the Marketing Coordinator. It's a very, very intense position to fulfil, but I'm loving it and am VERY privileged to be doing what I'm doing. It's all very exciting

So before we even get to the current award season of film. I have to ask if you've been able to view any of these films since we last spoke. You know me. I can' let it go. Zero Dark Thirty, War Horse, The New World or Black Swan? If you have seen any of these. What is your opinion on them?

Air - I have to look after the Festival Director - deal with all of her meeting requests and am in charge of managing her diary. Then the marketing side means I'm working with sponsors and groups ensuring sponsor agreements, etc are adhered to as well as running all of our Social Media campaigns! Silver - That's absolutely fine haha! Of course we have to deal them before we get on to the new batch I have seen Zero Dark Thirty - which I really enjoyed, I really love Kathryn Bigelow as a director, I loved The Hurt Locker and I think the taut tension she created in that was brought along into Zero Dark Thirty magnificently! The only other one I've seen is Black Swan which is really my kind of film, a great story with a dark, fantastical element - I also love Darren Aronofsky's work - Requiem For A Dream is one of my all time favourite films.

Kawe - To take better care of myself for sure! And also to reconnect with friends who I've lost touch with. (I guess I started early by rejoining you guys on here ) Air - It's very exciting! The only aspect of my job that I'm wary of, more than something I don't like, is how different the world in which I'm working is and so I have to be much more careful in what I say and do, than I have ever had to do in any other job - it's just a huge learning curve though I guess!
