  • late spring

    Quick update as my blogging activities tend to be elsewhere these days.

    The courses didn't run this term, but hoping to get something in place for September. April was very Dracula-centric leading up to the panel discussion at the IFI in Dublin on Dracula which went down fairly well.

    Have been podcasting again recently too, putting plans in place for the next half dozen episodes. Itunes being a complete tit at the moment, so have to check it out at the blogsite instead for now...

    Currently getting mentally ready for Fantastic Films Weekend in Bradford in June - the annual cinematic fest which I can't recommend enough to people...
