Digital and tech exec at the BFI. Previously GOV.UK, and a tough but edifying stint in local gov. Alcohol free. Fun facts: I can't form mental images and have no inner monologue (aphantasia) nor remember my own life (SDAM). https://neilojwilliams.net

Ladies and gents I bring you Mark Kermode introducing Nightcrawler, which is his pick of the week on BFI Player. I am obsessed with this nasty film - if you haven't seen it you must! Not least for the masterclass in managing interns. player.bfi.org.uk/subscription...?
Watch Nightcrawler - BFI Player
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a crime journalist scouring the streets of after-dark LA in a stylish thriller that examines the morals of mass media.

Those Meta AR glasses are pretty cool apart from the fact that the apps and maps are limited to Meta. Hope Google are working on some specs again.
Can't see a flip chart without wanting to write JUST SACK PAT on it.
Grateful for Sadiq Khan at moments like this
Qualities I look for in a perfect autumn leaf crunch:
1. Completely dry and crispy leaf
2. Concave and inverted, like a crab shell
3. Exactly where your stride is going to land
4. No traffic noise to ruin it
