My first ever day on a film set I had a one on one scene with Robert Redford. The movie was Spy Game: he was charming and kind and gallant. And beautiful. America… poor crisis ridden America- you’ve lost a true old fashioned icon.
Here’s a sketch of him from the film.

Listen to this brilliant new podcast! #BrokenVeil
The creepy investigation that’s currently sitting at No 3, above The Archers in the podcast charts. Which… I’ll admit… we weren’t expecting.
“Broken Veil. An everyday story of liminal space folk.” Nah. Doesn’t quite work.
Dig in. Trust us. It gets weird.
