Woo – “Ghost Writer” – Olivia’s film premieres at the Berlin Film Festival

Christmas in Newport, Pembrokeshire

In between the rain and snow, a brief and uplifting moment of sunshine on Newport Beach (“traeth mawr” or ‘big beach’).

The Guide: Artwork by Clement Price-Thomas

Wow – I love this!
A friend’s brother’s just won an art prize and when I initially looked at the video (distracted, sorry), I didn’t really “get” it. Half way through it hit me – great idea, beautifully executed and recorded with restraint. Tip: look at the leaves…
