Hello and a very warm welcome to Film Stories with Simon Brew.

I am Simon Brew. As always, always as absolutely everything you need to know

about me. The aim of the podcast though, well it's generally to talk off the stories of films and I talk

about production stories, development stories, marketing stories, release stories, all the ingredients really

that go towards making the films that we know and sometimes love, just that the films that we know

and sometimes love. But with all that preamble, I'm doing

it's a print magazine, it's a website and all sorts of other mischief as well. And there's a

team of people who work on it. And so for the end of the year episode of film stories, I've got that team of
