likewise on the cg front , the girl with all the gifts continues to make some smart choices . rather than going all out - the far inferior sequel 28 weeks later springs to mind - the girl with all the gifts has instead dialled it back to create far more realistic environments , showcasing a rundown london slowly becoming engulfed in nature as the group traverse through it . and knowing there’s just an ( estimated ) budget of £4 million at work here , the series of shots it manages to pull off are impressive and highlight once again the more grounded feel the film exudes .
i had a general meeting with mike carey ( legendary comic book writer of sandman , lucifer , the unwritten ) , we were talking about a lewis carroll project but at the end of our chat he sent me a short story – essentially the first 5 minutes of the film the girl with all the gifts . colm came on board at this early stage and we storylined the film together .
i think in this case , it ' s an even tie , unlike with fight club , in which the film ' s ending actually topped the novel ' s , both versions of the girl with all the gifts satisfy at narrative end . one ending does not outshine the other , when you get right down to it .
like the vampire phenomenon before it , the zombie wave rose and crested , crashed and ebbed . the film industry took to it with dollar signs in its eyes and did what any proper horde of undead would do : they consumed all but the bones and gristle before leaving the genre to television’s ongoing custody . and into this post - opportunistic landscape wanders “girl with all the gifts . ”
tell us a bit about the girl with all the gifts . what drew you to the project ? was choosing to do it a case of finding a great script or you’d found the story already and wanted someone to write one for you ?
whilst the actual story of the girl with all the gifts and the lore surrounding it - a fungal virus transmitted through the passing of bodily fluids that creates the cannibal critters we all love - are already well trodden ground , it still manages to be a tense and intriguing experience , even if it’s a little too long and meandering for its own good . unfortunately i felt the final act of the girl with all the gifts goes a little off the reservation , introducing a new troupe to the group that brought back dreaded memories of mad max beyond thunderdome , then capping it off with a very un - hollywood conclusion . and whilst the events of the film ' s eventual conclusion will be a matter of preference , you’ll come to realise upon summary whilst the credits roll , that not a whole lot of story actually unfolds within the girl with all the gifts and it clearly takes the scenic route getting there .
the girl with all the gifts received positive reviews from critics . on review aggregator website rotten tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 83 % , based on 46 reviews , with an average rating of 7 . 2 / 10 . on metacritic the film has a score of 73 out of 100 score , based on 9 critics , indicating

it’s in the film of 2010 that the big world - saving stakes come to the forefront . and the film updates that final message , too :
but then the financial crisis kicked off , i lost my job and that was the kick up the backside to set up on my own , which was interesting and at the worst of times . i gave myself 7 years to make my first feature and did it in 4 with “the girl with all the gifts” .
a quantum leap from mccarthy’s flawed but intriguing 2010 debut feature outcast ( with which this shares some thematic concerns ) , the girl with all the gifts is exactly the kind of genre picture the uk should be making : provocative , imaginative and unafraid to sink its teeth into complex and challenging material . bravo !
however , in adhering to the classical tropes of the zombie genre , “the girl with all the gifts” delivers . chilean composer cristobal tapia de veer’s pounding soundtrack creates a constant sense of uneasiness , while the film’s vibrant imagery pairs immersive master shots of the empty landscapes with telling closeups that hint at divided allegiances . in the spectacular finale , the movie takes on the haunting , expressionistic dread of a bosch painting .
from the offset it’s clear that the girl with all the gifts is a very different kind of depiction of the zombie genre , with an overpowering score in its setup - if you can call a collection of ambient noises a score - that will have you scrambling for your senses . the zombie genre is a very crowded one , but thankfully the girl with all the gifts has cherry - picked some of the best of them , and it’s clear to see the influence of danny boyle’s 28 days later and even elements of the gaming medium , with the critically acclaimed the last of us on full display here - so much , that it makes that particular games currently in the works film depiction , feel entirely pointless now .
the girl with all the gifts is clearly influenced by the genre greats such as 28 days later , crafted with just a small budget and some grounded cg work , it manages to pull off a tense experience that once again puts british crafted undead movies on the map , and even create a future star with a breakout performance from sennia nanua .
i would love to write a girl with all the gifts comic book . the only possible artists for a project like that would be peter gross or mike perkins . and mike has already covered the whole post - apocalyptic genre with his epic version of stephen king’s the stand , so he might well say no .
colm ( mccarthy , director of the girl with all the gifts ) had worked on endeavour and they were looking for a new producer so he suggested they talk to me . also they wanted a more cinematic approach , as tv has become so ambitious these days .
ms . nanua is an appealing , relaxed performer , and her convincing portrayal of a clever , decent , good - humored young person is the key to the film’s effectiveness . “the girl with all the gifts” doesn’t really venture into new territory , but it does a decent job of reminding us why zombies are so scary , and so interesting .
the girl with all the gifts is a post - apocalyptic zombie drama directed by colm mccarthy , starring paddy considine , gemma arterton , glenn close and newcomer sennia nanua . the narrative of the film focuses on melanie ( nanua in her first feature film ) , a young girl trying to find her place in an increasingly scary world . she makes friends and enemies , learns the importance of school , and resists her insatiable lust for human flesh . and you thought your younger years were tough .
“the girl with all the gifts” is his most recent novel , published in 2014 to critical acclaim and attracting many fans , including writer - director joss whedon , who proclaimed it to be “heartfelt , remorseless and painfully human…as fresh as it is terrifying . a jewel . ”
she who brings gifts is the 2014 brit list script that has been adapted by mr carey from his own dystopian novel , the girl with all the gifts . colm mccarthy ( peaky blinders , sherlock , ripper street ) will make his feature directing debut with shooting to start in may . gemma arterton , paddy considine and glenn close have boarded the thriller about a seemingly normal and very intelligent little girl who lives in an underground army bunker with other children her age . they are all experimental cases being examined by scientists to find a cure for a fungal spore that has infected the planet .
glenn close , gemma arterton and paddy considine have joined the cast of she who brings gifts .
i was fairly disappointed with this . didnt really offer anything new or interesting for the genre , and one of the pivotal scenes with
the girl
was pretty cringe worthy
on its surface , the girl with all the gifts is a straightforward , if devastatingly grim , zombie flick . the world , overrun with fast - moving , bloodthirsty “hungries” has collapsed save for a few military outposts where what’s left of humanity is frantically struggling to find a cure for the infection that’s caused by a parasitic fungus .
despite this however , the film manages to keep its pace throughout and we are left with a very unique zombie film . this is a definite must - watch for any fan of zombie films and a definite should - watch for everyone else . the girl with all the gif t s is a breath of fresh air and a much needed addition to the zombie zeitgeist .
“the girl with all the gifts” is the story of melanie , a girl who is full of questions about the world . every morning , melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class . when they come for her , sergeant parks keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair . she thinks they don’t like her . she jokes that she won’t bite . but they don’t laugh . melanie is a very special girl .
and he answered my message and said he would love to share his book with you all .
the traveling band aspect of “the walking dead , ” the cities and landscapes empty of human existence of “ 28 days later , ” the military aspect of “ day of the dead ”—it’s easy to pick apart the influences of “the girl with all the gifts . ” but just as melanie marks something altogether new in this world—a zombie with a conscience—the film about her feels inspired by what came before but also good enough to inspire those that come after .
when melanie explores deeper places within the city that are too dangerous for the uninfected , she actually finds other infected , but intelligent children like herself . that moment is a turning point where the girl with all the gifts begins to subvert the traditional zombie narrative by turning it into a parable about hope and change .
the image of a young black girl looking down at a dying white man who thinks she’s a monster is powerful in and of itself , but the girl with all the gifts gives it a unique significance . as melanie walks away from the soldier , the same fungus that gave her life is killing the soldier and is ensuring that , in the end , the zombies will win and give birth to a new form of humanity .

of course , no visuals can fully obscure the usual beats in play . from “the night of the living dead” to “the walking dead , ” so much of this material has been mined dry that it has gotten harder to distinguish when it’s actually done well . but “the girl with all the gifts” really does offer up a fleshed - out world rich with eerie implications , saving the biggest one for the memorable finale . as melanie grows more confident in her understanding of the threat around her , she begins to take control in ways her human peers can’t anticipate , and her defiance creates a complicated moral base for the story . ultimately , “the girl with all the gifts” suggests that the end of the world is relative .
the film wasn’t actually based on the novel . the opening of the film is inspired by mike’s short story but i’ve never actually read the novel as it was written alongside our script .

i fell head - over - heels in love for the girl with all the gifts . i can tell you now that this will be on my top ten reads of 2014 because i can’t stop thinking about it and have the urge to reread it all over again . it is a true adventure of a read that grabbed me and did not let me go until the final pages .
a scientist and a teacher living in a dystopian future embark on a journey of survival with a special young girl named melanie .
whilst already having a storied legacy within the comic industry , liverpudlian writer mike carey has most recently turned his craft to novels , with one of those being the critically acclaimed ; the girl with all the gifts . after being picked up for production in 2014 - with director colm mccarthy ( known for british shows like peaky blinders ) on board - that novel now springs to life and graces us upon the big screen .
while caldwell is cold and clinical in her analyses of the children—only seeing them as hosts for a disease that makes them seem like children—justineau has a true love for them , melanie in particular . the bond between melanie and justineau is what set the events of the girl with all the gifts in motion , but the movie makes an important change to the characters from the book .
movie news , screening invitations and reviews from the world of independent film and beyond .
in the process , however , she develops a greater sense of individuality that sets the stage for a fascinating climactic showdown . the result echoes richard matheson’s post - apocalyptic vampire saga “i am legend , ” in that both evoke sympathy for the source of humanity’s demise rather than antagonizing it . a thrilling zombie movie with brains , “the girl with all the gifts” strengthens its traditional qualities a greater element of surprise .
one of the major strengths of “the girl with all the gifts” is evident early in mccarthy’s tactile , believable world - building . much as romero paid close attention to such details , the set design , costumes , and the world of “gifts” feels lived - in and genuine . and it’s a nature - based aesthetic ( dirt on walls , costumes that look worn , etc . ) that continues and even strengthens once this ragtag crew is forced from safety and into the dangerous world . there’s a visceral , emotional impact to the horror and action of “the girl with all the gifts” that resonates because the characters and the world they live in feels real to us . it’s hard to overstate how important this to a horror movie , especially one set in a post - apocalyptic world . if we don’t believe the world is genuine , we won’t care what happens in it .

the ambiguous humanity of zombies — the porousness of the boundary between us and them — is a staple of the genre . when the inevitable crisis arrives , sending melanie and ms . justineau on a perilous journey in the company of a research scientist ( glenn close ) and two soldiers ( paddy considine and fisayo akinade ) , “the girl with all the gifts” settles into a familiar rhythm . sessions of flesh - eating and hungry - slaughter alternate with slow - burning philosophical debates .
she who brings gifts is set in a dystopian future in which most of humanity is wiped out by a fungal infection and centres on melanie , a girl who is kept in a cell and is full of questions about the world .

the cast will be international . but that’s about all i can say at this stage !
this world , one virtually devoid of white men , and led by women and people of color is precisely the kind that donald trump and his administration don’t want . ironically , the girl with all the gifts manages to depict the creation of that sort of utopia through the same kind of lens that trump might describe it—an apocalyptic one—but the key to understanding the movie’s beauty is to understand that it’s really an origin story for a better future .
i loved this book so very much and it is unlike anything that i have ever read before or will ever read again . thank you for such a fantastic escape this summer . i discovered that it was based upon the edgar - nominated short story , iphigenia in aulis that you had written . why did you decide to take this short story and expand it into the girl with all the gifts ?
“the girl with all the gifts , ” directed by colm mccarthy , is a moderately engrossing , reliably gory british variation on the tried - and - true zombie - apocalypse theme with a first - rate cast . the formula , worked almost to death — or is it undeath ? — on “the walking dead” and elsewhere , has been tweaked a bit . the shambling , vacant - eyed cannibals are called “hungries , ” and their infection seems to be fungal rather than viral . also , some are cute , normal - seeming children , including the title character , a young girl named melanie ( sennia nanua ) .
the zombie film . a popcorn horror movie and an existential reflection on humanity ' s fears rolled into one gory spectacle . but alas , with the first zombie films being made in the 60s , we have to accept that although popular , the zombie genre is a very worn one . every road has been travelled , every story has been told and every brain has been eaten . from zombie romance to zombie horror , from zombie comedy to zombie drama , we have just about seen every possible zombie iteration possible . or so we thought . enter , the girl with all the gifts .
she who brings gifts was on last year’s brit list , a compendium of scripts set up as a complement to the us black list .
last fall , donald trump wasn’t our president . betsy devos hadn’t been confirmed as secretary of education , and an unconstitutional immigration ban wasn’t having a demonstrable chilling effect on the scientific community . as the horror movie finally makes it way into american theaters , though , all of those objectively terrifying things have come to pass . it’s easy to muse about how the trump administration’s chaotic incompetence and ethically dubious actions read like the opening scenes of a post - apocalyptic horror film . but in many ways , the girl with all the gifts is an interesting reflection on what it means to resist , survive , and ultimately thrive in a ( real ) world infested with rabid , horrifying monsters .

the scariest aspect of most zombies movies is the way they transform the familiar human visage into a grotesque , unthinking , carnivorous beast . “ the girl with all the gifts , ” director colm mccarthy’s smart and elegant adaptation of m . r . carey’s novel , inverts that formula by turning one zombie into the star of the show and giving her the innocent face of a child . as melanie , the infected adolescent at the center of this minimalist thriller , newcomer sennia nanua delivers a startling performance by bringing a gentle quality to horrific circumstances .
altitude film sales has boarded colm mccarthy’s adaptation of m . r . carey’s best - selling novel .
why is it that good actors in career stasis so often wind up in zombie films ? no one reading the outline for “ the girl with all the gifts ” could really have come away thinking , “this will break the mold , ” though given the long list of executive producers , the script must have passed through plenty of hands . colorlessly directed by colm mccarthy in his feature debut , this overlong contribution to the genre is set in the not - too - distant future , when a fungus has turned most everyone into brain - dead “hungries” feasting on flesh and blood . the film’s catch is that all attention is on a little girl hungry whose brain somehow seems perfectly fine . maybe the premise seemed marginally original at one time , but few outside teen audiences will think mike carey’s adaptation of his own novel is anything more than another tired attempt to board the zombie bandwagon .
shot in and around birmingham on a budget of around £4m , the film was backed by the bfi and creative england , both of whom put in more than £1m , marking creative england’s biggest film investment to date and one of the largest for the bfi .
i enjoyed this movie because to me the story felt like a new take on the zombie apocalypse genre . i liked the characters and thought
the girl
melanie was engaging .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
the adaptation of mike carey ' s 2014 bestseller of the same name , previously titled she who brings gifts , is set in a world where humanity has been all - but destroyed by a fungal disease that turns its victims into flesh - eating
hungries
.
additional festival berths are likely before the film’s uk release in late september and the project is already propelling some of its key players .
if zombies are a cultural response to the shared fear of humankind’s worst tendencies toward self - destruction — a theme non - zombie cinema will probably explore pretty extensively in the next four years — and if narratives of the living dead need hopeful resolutions to send audiences home a little less afraid of the future , then “girl with all the gifts” offers an unsettling departure from cliché . as melanie’s position in the story becomes more worrisome and uncertain , her survival becomes more vitally important ( to her , anyway ) .
adapted from mr carey’s post - apocalyptic ya novel , the girl with all the gifts is set in a future society where a mysterious disease has turned almost everyone into zombie - like ‘hungries’ who feed on human flesh . some children , affected by the disease , are able to avoid the zombie - like state – including melanie ( played by sennia nanua ) . when melanie’s school is attacked , her teacher ( gemma arterton ) and a soldier ( paddy considine ) must help her reach safety

it would seem that there really isn ' t a reason to read the book over seeing the novel , or vice versa , given their similarities , but the main advantage of the novel is , as is usually the case , further character development , which arises mainly from carey ' s technique of switching between the povs of the novel ' s main players . but beyond this , the novel gets more in depth with the science behind the fungal infection , and it all sounds alarmingly plausible . so if you ' d prefer a lot more scientific and psychological exploration , pick up the book , but if you ' re mainly interested in the story , watch the film—though as always , i would strongly encourage you to experience both , as they are both time well spent . just like the hungry children who set out to replace humanity as we know it , it is my hope that more narratives like the girl with all the gifts emerge in the future , to wipe out the stagnation of the zombie subgenre and replace it with the smart , sociologically perceptive horror narratives we all came to love—narratives that innovate rather than regurgitate , thrill rather than bore .
in many ways , melanie ( sennia nanua ) is just another ordinary girl . she goes to school every day , where she’s grown affection for her teacher ms . justineau ( gemma arterton ) . and she’s at that age where she’s figuring out what’s important to her , and how to navigate through the world of adults around her . but melanie is not an ordinary girl . she will soon be a mindless , soulless zombie , a braindead creature who responds only to a desire to kill and eat people around her . in fact , with the right triggers—like if the adults around her forget to wear their scent - disguising lotion—she could become that right now . just when you thought the zombie genre was out of ideas , along comes colm mccarthy ’s smart and engaging “the girl with all the gifts , ” a film with echoes of george a . romero , danny boyle , and robert kirkman but one that also feels confidently its own creation , a unique take on responsibility , adulthood , and a new chapter in evolution .
monday 5 march / 5 . 30pm - 8pm / the box / free veterans in practice present the ex - forces film . . .
the film marks the first major feature for peaky blinders , sherlock and doctor who director mccarthy , and is due to shoot in the uk in may .
the notable only issue the film has is its over use of product placement . several times during the film real life shops such as next and m & s make appearances in shots of the city . instead of having the intended effect of placing the film in reality , the opposite occurs and it becomes almost comical seeing the contrast of everyday life against the ravenous zombie hordes . the worst offender of this is a wide shot over a derelict mercedes benz office in which the camera holds on a huge mercedes logo that is lying flat on the roof . this had a very jarring effect that took you out of the film’s very engrossing narrative .
the film is due to shoot in the u . k . in may and is produced by camille gatin , co - producer of james marsh’s “shadow dancer” and ricky gervais’ “special correspondents , ” and angus lamont , producer of the berlin competition jury award - winning “’71 , ” directed by yann demange . the feature has been developed with the support of the bfi film fund .
the film is semi - based on the novel of the same name . i say ‘semi - based’ , because although the book was released first , m . j . carey wrote both the novel and the screenplay at the same time . this gives the film a unique narrative base as instead of standing on the shoulders of its source material , it runs in tandem alongside it . carey was also heavily involved in the production of the film itself , and there is a real unified vision between the director and author of what the film should be . this unity lends itself to some fantastically crafted material , such as the claustrophobic opening that is beyond unsettling .
the biggest challenge creatively for colm , and logistically for me , was to find the right little girl to play melanie and we met a lot of girls . it sounds impossibly romantic but sennia is the last girl we met . i wasn’t there but colm went to nottingham because of the tv workshop and he said “there is one more girl and she is amazing” . he sent me her tape and said i had to watch it . on monday we got her down to london to do a chemistry read with gemma and we just knew instantly .

so very disappointed with the film ! the book was amazing - - full of character development and hidden agendas and internal dialogue and surprises . the movie was bland . very anticlimactic and not nearly the same tone at the end . i would highly recommend skipping the movie and just reading the book !
another of the film’s many strengths is the quality of acting . all cast members give very human and relatable performances but there are two stand out actors ; glenn close who has been lauded for her acting prowess for over 30 years , and sennia nanua whose only other role lasted under 5 minutes . the fresh faced nanua holds her own against veteran close , and scenes they share are some of the most compelling in the film .
premiere . a scientist and a teacher living in a dystopian future embark on a journey of survival with a young girl named melanie . horror thriller , starring gemma arterton , paddy considine , glenn close and sennia nanua .
reviewed at locarno film festival ( piazza grande – opener ) , august 3 , 2016 . running time : 110 min .
quite the opposite with regards to the budget . i was very interested in post - apocalyptic imagery and urban exploration . we wanted to surprise people rather than have people coming in expecting a studio level film . we sent a micro drone unit to pripyat , chernobyl to shoot helicopter footage with pripyat doubling for urban london . i also spoke to gareth edwards about monsters ahead of shoot . that film was a reference point .
the screenplay for “she who brings gifts” appeared on the brit list , which is a compendium of stellar scripts by non - u . s . writers , set up to complement the u . s . black list . scripts that have made the list include “the king’s speech , ” “my week with marilyn” and “the best exotic marigold hotel . ”
melanie , played by appealing newcomer sennia nanua , is ostensibly the titular figure in the british dystopian horror yarn
the girl with all the gifts .
to miss justineau , she ' s a figure to nurture , even shed a tear over . but to the soldiers in charge , melanie is evil personified . that ' s because , as we soon learn when sergeant parks ( paddy considine ) interrupts the lesson to spit on his forearm , hold it in front of one child ' s face and watch it transform from cherubic mug into a twisted visage of animal thirst , these aren ' t regular grade - schoolers .
the final act has writer carey unveiling his intriguing take on zombie - inspired extinction , triggered by the discovery of the mutation ' s next evolutionary stage , and melanie finding a group of feral children who , unlike her , have had no contact with cultivating humans . as it lopes toward its ending , however , it ' s still undistinguished by any remarkable direction or performance — save close ' s late bid for mad - doctor zest . one is left feeling that
the girl with all the gifts
is no better or worse than a couple of solid episodes of a sci - fi series , professionally engrossing but unlikely to prompt your own feeding reflexes for more zombie fare .
an interview with terry gilliam , director of
the man who killed don quixote .
based on m . r . carey’s novel , “girl” marries well - worn ya tropes to brain - eating gore , and the result is , happily and occasionally quite grimly , more than the sum of those parts . in this case , the possibility of salvation in a dystopian future — thanks to the talents and leadership skills of one special tween — is compromised by the fact that the title’s gifted girl is a zombie .
led into a medical facility , the fate of melanie becomes apparent with a dissection from dr . caldwell now seemingly on the menu . thankfully , the suppressed hungries currently at bay outside didn’t get an invite , so they decide to crash the party for a well earned meal interrupting said operation - best laid plans and all that . with the facility now overrun , melanie along with parks , helen and caldwell make their escape into the outside , into the unknown .
leading the charge with a breakthrough performance - and astonishingly in her feature film debut - is sennia nanua playing melanie , who despite being proclaimed a ‘monster’ manages to make you both care and simultaneously feel on edge , abled by the rocky relationship between the packed - lunch ensemble she travels with . whilst the rest of the cast are serviceable - with some far more well known names and the rest being well , zombie fodder - it’s melanie with whom you’ll continue to be invested in and feel for , despite her predilection for raw meat .
in this comedy short , shot as a lark with friends , altman presents a cooking show devoted to teaching the finer points of pot smoking , which was one of the bon vivant ’s favorite pastimes when not on set . the film became part of altman’s portfolio and is said to have helped get him the job directing m * a * s * h . digibeta presentation courtesy of the robert altman collection at the ucla film & television archive .
they have a lot in common with the martian , starring damon as a man who becomes his best self when he’s left alone in the cosmos . the bizarro - world inversion of dr . mann . i’m hesitant to even mention the martian in an essay about science fiction ; the film is famously accurate about everything besides the dust storm at the beginning . actually , the most fantastical part of the martian is the stuff back on earth , where nasa has bottomless funding and china shares technology with any government that needs it . ( apparently , the martian is set a couple decades in the future , making the film’s disco obsession even less convincing . )
the film was directed by neill blomkamp , who has since admitted that the story wasn’t quite all there . blomkamp had a reputation as a sci - fi thinker after district 9 , but he’s never been as pretentious as his partisans . he likes action scenes , and he likes space guns . elysium is , in that sense , a fairly standard contemporary blockbuster action film . it suffers from our modern story gravity : the world is at stake .
some films in this genre get around the “budget” thing with a lo - fi aesthetic . the brilliant time travel potboiler primer was shot for lunch money in houses and public spaces . the clever ex machina won an oscar for its digital effects , but it’s cheaper to build a robot woman when she spends the movie talking in one room . but spaceships are a problem you can’t fake with clever lighting . arrival cost a reported $ 47 million and seems to have 17 production companies , and the film still has to deal with people saying things like “the aliens don’t look all that convincing . ”

the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…
in other words , “girl” might be the most inadvertently appropriate analog to life in 2017’s increasingly unstable world , by suggesting that it may very well become necessary to co - exist with ongoing terror , especially if the only other option is walking directly into the path of a flesh - eating pack .
for example , i knew about film markets because i used to be a film buyer and a distributor – that may come across as a tangent in my career . but because i’d come to know the head of sales at altitude , mike runagall , i knew exactly what films he was into .
