I’m happy to announce that I am beginning a new biographical project on Sean Connery.
I am in early stages but if anyone has any contacts, avenues, stories, anecdotes etc then I would love to hear them. Please DM me.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story was all over the place in terms of themes and tone. It never seemed to settle, which may have been intentional. If so, it didn’t work. All a bit on the nose, even if that nose was in a box.
