I was allowed to be a lot funnier in Miseducation, because Caroline says outright what Charlotte Lucas wouldn't dare think; I hope that comes through in wild, flamboyant technicolour.
Thank you! It's deeply farcical and unhinged; I'm so proud of it.

Bonus Cinema Worms episode! Thanks to the incredible French Film Festival going on across the UK, who gave me a free ticket to see Chien 51; dystopia, drones, and conspiracy in future Paris!

White man with epic beard and handle bar moustache, and an early 20th century suit, for the film FANTΓMAS, on Cinema Worms
Would love views on this 2 minute Cinema Worms episode on FANTΓMAS!
A delightful and riveting silent film caper from 1913. I got to see this with live accompaniment from cello and piano with a piece composed for the screening.
Check out it out, along with the FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL UK!
