Are the lip readers going to work on this? So curious to know what he was saying (and who he might have been talking to). #BOUARS #Arsenal

'Haunting' and 'beautiful' are two of my favourite words about the stories I love, and I feel honoured (and grateful) to hear them from Michael Nielsen about the film I made. Thank you!

When Hannu Rajaniemi describes your film in terms of scifi at 'its very best,' it feels like a major personal and creative milestone. Thank you for the recommendation, Hannu! I can't wait to share Anwar with audiences for its US premiere in Sedona.

Amen. "But words are things, and a small drop of ink, / Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces / That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think." Byron.

This was a highlight of our festival journey. I lost count of the people who said our film moved them to tears. Plus a meaningful, insightful, challenging Q&A by Monica Lopez. Thank you Christopher Fabian and the team at Giga for the invite and being such wonderful hosts!

Incredible vision by Hannu Rajaniemi, who continues to write science fictions and create science realities. I find this future frightening, but it's coming, and it's good to know minds like his are working on the answers for human flourishing.
