Please feel free to email me via the form on the contact page if you’d like me to speak at an event. I am experienced moderating Q&As and taking part in panel discussions.
I also deliver lectures and workshops to students and teachers on film analysis and film as text. I have most recently lectured on Look Both Ways, Gattaca, Water and On the Waterfront. I can be booked directly or via the speakers agency Booked Out.
