Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Films

I’m just about to watch RoboCop. I am looking forward to seeing how it compares to the original as we are now living in the future that the original film portrayed.

I also loved Spike Jonze’s Her with Joaquin Phoenix – it was amazing and science fiction is one of my favourite film genres.

Music

I actually have my own label, Unstoppable Records, and so I’m currently listening to my artist Jamie Joseph, who’s co-signed to RCA. He’s an amazing soul artist and is working on his album. I am also a huge fan of Eminem’s, he’s a lyrical genius!

Books

At the moment I’m re-reading Kissing in Manhattan by David Schickler. I read it years ago and loved the intertwining stories and world that he crafted in 1990s New York. I wanted to look at it again to see if there was any potential for a film. One of my favourite books is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time – I’ve been trying to get tickets to see the stage play,

Television

I’m re-watching Season 1 through to 8 of Entourage, which I absolutely love, in preparation for the movie! Although it’s a slight exaggeration it represents the industry I work in and I can relate to it.

Favourites include Breaking Bad and Family Guy – they always make me laugh.

Noel Clarke’s film ‘The Anomaly’ is on general release. The DVD is out on 27 October.
