Lovely end to the week, working with Philippa, the Widening Participation team and a whole bunch of really energetic and engaged year 11 students, discussing genre and narrative and then pitching horror films.

Went to the Tail O'the Pup (of LA Story fame and one of the last remaining 'ducks' in the city) and then on, through a *secret door,* (squeals with excitement) to the glorious Lucky Tiki cocktail bar.
