Or rather, in the Baby Club in an EVERYMAN Cinema on a Tuesday morning. I joined my friend (with her baby) this week. Because, well, I’m a freelancer and I thought I’d take advantage of the ‘softer’ sounds and the coffee and cake that gets brought right to your seat. Basically, it was heaven. As the film played, I looked…
I know, I know. Cinema events seem like they’re meant for the Christmas period or for summer. I’m over it, you might think. I’m going to hibernate in my house until the sad month of January finishes. I get it. But here’s the best part: Backyard Cinema is continuing to show wonderful films well into January (and February!) and it’s still completely worth your…
Knives Out is (legendary) director Rian Johnson’s latest ‘Whodunnit’. The movie tells the story of the Thrombey family whose patriarch is suspiciously ‘killed’ and they need to get to the bottom of, well, who done it. Cue three hilarious policemen led by Daniel Craig sporting an impressive Southern American accent (it’s nice to see him in something that isn’t awfully British). He seemed to…
It’s fair to assume that Tom Harper’s The Aeronauts verges on the twee side of life. Or rather, that was my assumption. A Victorian-set film starring Jones and Redmayne who were already in 2014’s The Theory of Everything could suggest that. It just sounds a bit – wholesome. And, to a certain extent it was – but don’t let that dissuade you. Jones…
Jojo Rabbit is director Taika Waititi’s (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Thor: Ragnarok, What We Do in the Shadows) latest dark comedy. It’s a story about a small Nazi boy, Jojo Betzler, who, along with his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler, must navigate his way through a war-torn childhood and a Jewish girl hiding in his upstairs cupboard. The cast is brilliant. Waititi, as a…
Hope Gap. Strange title. Sort of jarring. Doesn’t really flow. Doesn’t really matter either. Hope Gap isn’t just two words stuck together. It refers to the place that the characters in this film took their son to when he was a child. And yet, it’s a lot more than that. It represents the struggle that the characters in this story face, the despair that’s…
Me, Myself & I
Welcome to Screenster. I’m Georgie and I’m interested in the TV shows and films that entertain, make you laugh, keep you company and remind us that there are still lots of jobs out there for actors. I’m an actor myself and I needed something that stopped me from twiddling my thumbs and, well, pulling my hair out when I’m not working. I’m also a podcast host, golden retriever enthusiast, netball captain and Newcastle United fan.
Follow me on @screensteruk too. Nice to meet you!
Acting Work
Need an actress? (I’ve heard there’s a shortage…). You can find out more about my acting work here. Yes, I’ve got an agent so please do get in touch! I also now host The Screenster Podcast, a TV and film podcast which looks at the nuts and bolts of this industry. Each week, I chat to different people in the business – from producers to location caterers and script supervisors. We chew the fat on everything from mental health to what they’re watching.
