Description
Ending this week of cinematic conversation on This Is My Cinema is Reggie Yates. Reggie was part of the jury for the British Independent Film Awards this year and has been a part of British screen-storytelling for two decades. He's just finished directing Pirates, his first feature film, having previously been an actor and presenter on both radio and television. Reggie gets into his favourite cinema haunts from his youth, the movie moments he loved watching with a full audience and his particular popcorn practice. Welcome to This Is My Cinema, a podcast from the British Independent Film Awards. The show is called This Is My Cinema and it’s all about celebrating the very best talent in the British film scene and the cinema experiences that made them who they are today.  Our hosts Michael Leader and Rhianna Dhillon will be talking to rising stars and legendary names from in front of and behind the camera, exploring their origins in filmmaking, their inspirations, their memories of the cinemas they grew up visiting and of course whether they take their popcorn salty, sweet - or wouldn’t dream of taking food to a film at all.  On the 18th of February, the British Independent Film Awards will be broadcasting live on Facebook and YouTube, hosted by Tom Felton, with lots of special guest appearances too.
