Film, Cinema & TV’s
Story of 100+ Years
“The Lord of the Rings”, “Star Wars”,
“The Godfather”, “Schindler’s List”,
“Titanic” and “The Wizard of Oz”…
The greatest stories in Film and TV have the power to entertain, to move us, to inspire us, to inform and to show us the light and the dark of humanity, our greatest personal journeys, our world and how we live and work in it together…
I am taking you all on a journey through the most critically, commercially, creatively and culturally successful and significant Films and TV Shows of all time - including the ones which have profound personal meaning to me - all with the main goal of showing exactly what makes the stories we love work, how they won over the hearts and minds of millions around the world and exactly what their legacy is today…
