Stephen Bondar on Catherine’s Substack

Thank you for the update, and I hope Death of a Clown is also paying off financially too! I am now going to go back and watch the movies in the 28 Days Later franchise, and wait for the latest one to come out on Prime. Good work as a teacher trying to inspire, because it seems the reverse is almost too often the case. I recall seeing an interview with Tim Burton some years back, where he said you could see how imagination was slowly drummed out of most children by visiting almost any elementary school in America, public or private. You would look at the drawings posted inside and outside classrooms from art class. The Ks,1s, 2s would be wild and full of all kinds of strange creatures, but by the time you got to Grade 6, you could see that a kind of uniformity had set in, and a lot of that imagination was lost because it was simply not nurtured or encouraged. Got one series rec for you - I am watching a British SF drama (2 seasons) called The Rig. Thank you!
