Learned a lot the first time around. Publishing is a tough game, but I told myself the stories mattered more - they always will. Thank you for the constant support 🙏🏼
ALVARO is about the places we come from - how they shape us, and how we shape them in return. And now it's yours...

Currently re-reading 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and can't get over how much of a character the Nautilus actually feels like. Like yea Nemo is cool and all, but the Nautilus just feels so developed and lived in...

THE BRUTALIST is one of the few films I've seen that tackles this relationship between place, space and meaning so well. It's cinematography is both "empty" and imbued with meaning, soul. Always breathtaking to watch. The scene in Italy is a real highlight #filmsky

While everyone is reeling from THAT death scene in LAST OF US, I'm stunned by how well the show has managed to capture the sheer breathtaking sublimity of nature. It's as punishing and cruel as the world it takes place in, and they've nailed that feeling perfectly from the game

Wasn't expecting to like A REAL PAIN as much as I did. Just when you think it can't get any more honest, Eisenberg and Culkin take it up. Unreal performances. And stunning (sometimes heartbreaking) architecture photography #film 🎬

PRESENCE was such a cool cinematic experiment. Strong script, fresh perspective. I will always appreciate Soderbergh messing around with style and form #film

I don't think Oz has ever felt this alive onscreen than it has in WICKED. The production design, sets, costumes and effects (and of course incredible acting and singing) really make it come ALIVE. Props to everyone involved, this was a true cinematic experience, the kind that forces you to dream

Brilliant adaptations come few and far between. Ferrante's MY BRILLIANT FRIEND is just that: an adaptation that is both epic and intimate, topped with a series of incredible performances by its leads. A fantastic exploration of friendship and how the places we grow up in shape us.

The S2 finale of RINGS OF POWER was exceptional, at the same level of technical artistry as Jackson's original trilogy. Edwards was incredible; Vickers IS Sauron, an all time greatest villain. A stunning season all around

Anyone else have a favourite author they go back to for inspo while writing? For me it's Atwood, this trilogy is her holy grail in my opinion
