Adam Micklethwaite

Adam is an aspiring journalist, part-time writer and full-time dreamer, who also harbours optimistic, but deliberately vague, ambitions of scripting and directing a film at a hitherto unspecified future moment which, for argument's sake, we’ll call “someday”.

Adam likes films which are challenging, inspirational and thought-provoking. He believes that cinema should dispute and redefine the audience’s expectations and pre-conceptions and so much the better when a film destroys these altogether.

Generally speaking, Adam doesn’t do lists, but since you’ve gone and put him on the spot, his top three films are: The Third Man, Once Upon A Time In The West and Goodfellas. Ask him again tomorrow and they will be different…
