Shownotes

This week on FoF: a play-by-play of how I was invited, denied and then finally admitted onto the BFI London Film Festival Red Carpet. PLUS, I tell a hilarious anecdote about Chloe Zhao leading me and Steven Spielberg in some group meditation, I also review "Frankenstein" and "After The Hunt", which are wildly related movie titles now I think about it. Also - a shoutout for more of YOUR Imperfect 10/10s - DM me @fredasquithonfilm on Instagram! (instagram.com/fredasquithonfilm?igsh=MXZucGszY…)
