The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On
The modern posters and all their variants annoy the hell out of me, and represent a spectacular a lack of imagination. But this is still pretty interesting. I’ve also been to that bookshop, many moons ago, and it’s an incredible place.
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story.
It’s also been nominated for an Oscar.
CrossRoad – Le Film

Moonrise Kingdom Trailer
I love Wes Anderson films. Rushmore is one of my official favourite movies. I like that he uses Futura a lot, and I like that he reinvented Bill Murray’s career. There’s a wonderful, adult fairytale quality to all his films, and if I ever tried to write a mainstream novel, I’d probably have a Wes Anderson movie running through my mind at the time. I really can’t wait for this one.
