"A bit weird, but good. After watching, it makes you reflect on Modern Art a lot lol." - Luba
Three Body Problem - Book
"Great Chinese dystopian novels, soon to be made into a Netflix series! Get reading now so you can smugly get in your 'book is better' line before others." - Cedd
John Cleese, Creativity - Video
"Is John Cleese low-key cancelled in 2024? To be honest I don't know...but what I DO know is that this is a great listen. He gives some helpful tips for entering into a creative headspace and how to work as part of a creative team. The stuff about 'open vs closed state' makes a lot of sense." - Max

Gramafilm Class of 2023
We're already feeling nostalgic for the amazing year we had last year, so we thought we'd fully lean into it with primary-school-esque 'Class of 2023' tea towel. Good Skills.
