To Love A Narcissist was back in Sanctum, Soho, for another private screening 17 Feb at 7.30pm, where Raff announced Hollywood producer Ted Field joining our Contro Vento family as Executive Producer of our film, alongside Sadie Frost, and revealed exciting details of our upcoming screening in New York! 💜
Excited to share that To Love A Narcissist, the film I’ve been producing with Contro Vento Films, will premiere at the New York Socially Relevant Film Festival (SRFF) 16 March at 7.30pm! This is the second time we have reached the competition stage of SRFF. We were honoured to receive a Special Jury Mention for Transference in 2020. With most of the world in lockdown then, the festival was held on zoom. This year, we’ll be zooming in the old-fashioned way! ✈️
Thank you SRFF for supporting our films and our vision to create a platform for those affected by the themes our films explore to connect and access support. 🙏🏽

Thanks Hong Kong Buzz for your plug of my Mental Ideas Podcast, plus recent film festival excitements for a film I co-produced with Contro Vento Films, Transference: A Bipolar Love Story, which was supposed to have its world premiere at the New York Socially Relevant Film Festival in March, the film’s selections for the Arizona International Film Festival and Buenos Aires International Film Festival, mention of my 2019 NIFA Award and plans to travel to Wisconsin to catch up with the indomitable Dan Davies (an upcoming podcast guest) for NIFA 2020 in May. Which sounds a lot more exciting that it actually is. In reality, the podcast is the only item of news mentioned in the article that hasn’t been postponed. But give it time…
The Mental Ideas Podcast will be back on RTHK Radio 3 next Thursday (April 16) @ 2.30pm HKT!
