Thanks to the EVERYMAN CINEMA, the talented cast & crew of To Love A Narcissist and all the invited guests for a memorable London premiere Friday 8 May! We mixed, we mingled, we watched, we drank, we fell over (well, I did) and then we got up and did it all again the next day at Century Club!
So incredibly proud of my old pal and ‘almost sibling’ Raffaello Degruttola and star Lyndsey Marshal (no superlatives exist that do her performance justice!) It’s an honour to be part of Team Contro Vento!
To Love A Narcissist has been making headlines today with the release of US distributor Freestyle‘s ‘intriguing’ trailer trending on comingsoon.net. The film premiered in London 8 May 2026 ahead of its digital release in North America 19 May 2026.
The first drama feature film I co-produced for Contro Vento with Mental Ideas, bipolar love story Transference, is being re-released and distributed worldwide by Cardinal XD in 2026. The film won the Jury Prize for Narrative Feature at the Socially Relevant Film Festival, New York. It was posted on YouTube in 2022 and has since been viewed over 30 million times.
