Last night I had the privilege of conducting the BAFTA/LA interview with Marty, his cinematographer Rodriego Pieto and his casting directors about his wonderful new movie, Killers of the Flower Moon, which I unreservedly reccommend to anyone who loves cinema, social justice and American history. He and his team were a delight to talk to and the three hours of the movie sped past, with amazing performances by Leonardo de Caprio, Robert de Niro and Lily Gladstone. Thank you Mr. Scorsese! ...

“The Adventures of Toby Wey, written by Gavin Scott, is a spellbinding historical adventure novel set in the early 19th century. It blends historical events with a tale that is nothing short of mesmerizing. From the very first page, the action simply doesn’t quit, and even the slower scenes simmer with intrigue. A magnificently crafted coming-of-age story and a gripping tale of adventure and triumph against long odds that I can definitely see myself rereading many times in the future.” ...
