Hello, this is Simon Brew.

I'm the editor of Film Stories magazine, and a very warm welcome to the latest episode of the Film Stories podcast.

Come with me.

And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

In movies, movies that had stories.

That the story just sucks a man.

This is just the beginning.

There are stories.

We would be honored if you would join us.

Hello and a very warm welcome to film stories with Simon Brew.

I am Simon Brew, as always, that's absolutely everything you need to know about me.

The aim of the podcast though, well, I'm here as the title suggests, to talk off the stories of films

and I tend to talk about development stories, production stories, marketing stories, release stories,

contractual stories, all the bits and bobs really that go to make the films that we know and

sometimes love. Just that, the films that we know and sometimes love. The films I choose,

this podcast tend to lean more in the mainstream than anything else. They're films I'm interested

in or invested in to some degree.

I try not to do snark.

I try not to punch down.

This podcast is a celebration of cinema.

It's an acknowledgement of just how hard it is to make a film

and just sheer gratitude that films get made.
