Dear Karen,


Unfortunately, due to a very busy filming schedule, Ewan McGregor is unable to meet your request and will not be available to appear in your short film.


Kind regards,


Claire (PA)


First-hand experience, its retelling and exaggeration, and fiction assimilate in my work. The semiotic language of the hypermundane creates an almost believable canvas upon which events unfold. The veneered celebrities of Saturday night television, a meeting with the world’s leading expert in déja vu, and social realist cinema have each served as influences.
