I have just written a ‘guest blog’ for ‘I heart Reykjavík’ on Airwaves. You can read it here.
Inverness in the highlands of Scotland is not the most attractive town. I wouldn’t say it was ugly, but it’s not far off. Apart from the river, and a couple of restaurants, it didn’t seem to have much going for it. That was, until I found the bookshop. Not just any bookshop, one that might […]
I just heard that Days of Gray is being screened at Iceland Airwaves. I’m looking forward to this. In the meantime, here is an article I wrote on the project a short while back for Iceland Review online. There is a film being made in Iceland this summer. There are several actually, but this one […]
