the attack on manchester arena, the second most devastating terrorist atrocity on uk soil, killed 22 people and injured 120 more. today's official review pointed to three major failings amidst great acts of bravery. the chief of the fire service apologised immediately for their failure to respond and vodafone said sorry for failing to supply a hotline because of catastrophic technical failures, but tonight we concentrate of the third major criticism, the media. the review, authored by this man, was "shocked and dismayed" by the level of press intrusion in the aftermath of the attack. we'll be speaking to the family of one victim about their own experience. a former cambridge analytica employee — the man who sparked a global debate over electronic privacy — tells mps the uk may not have voted for brexit had it not been for cheating by the leave campaign. also tonight, the cornish brexit. it's a year until we leave the eu,

and we report on how it's changing us in the real world. i think one thing it can do is change a mind set, in that cornwall can start to think more commercially, because it has to think more commercially. and david mamet joins us from la to talk about his new book, and a new play — about harvey weinstein. good evening. amidst the fulsome praise for the way some responded to the manchester arena attack ten months ago, in the review published by lord kerslake today, there was significant criticism of others. fire service chiefs have apologised for the service being absent for two hours after the bomb, something that caused great frustration to rank and file firefighters. and vodafone have said sorry for the catastrophic failing of a freephone telephone service set up for agonised relatives. lord kerslake‘s third major criticism was of parts of the media, and that's what we're

going to focus on tonight. on this topic, the families and friends of the victims gave shaming evidence — one family member described how a picture was taken of them receiving news of their bereavement through a window, a member of staff on a hospital ward nursing the seriously injured spoke of a note offering £2,000 for information being included in a tin of biscuits given to staff. and even if individual journalists behaved honourably, the effect of the pack could feel overwhelming. lord kerslake recommended that the press regulator introduces new guidelines on reporting the aftermath of terror attacks. the panel was shocked and dismayed by the accounts of the families of their experiences with some of the media. they spoke to us of being hounded, of a lack of respect, and of sneaky attempts to take photos when families were received bad news. to have experienced such intrusive

and overbearing behaviour at a time of such enormous vulnerability, seem to us to be completely and utterly unacceptable. i'll be talking to lord kerslake in a minute along with ian murray of the society of editors. but first i'm joined from manchester by figen murray, the mother of martyn hett, who died in the attack. martyn‘s stepfather stuart murray also joins us. thank you for coming in. first of all figen, in the middle of the uncertainty and your dreadful loss, you had to encounter the press on many occasions, can you tell us about the first encounter? well the first encounter wasn't me personally, it was really my youngest daughter, who was 16 at the time. my husband and i had gone to the etihad because that is where we were recommended to go,

for information and support, so we dashed over there, of course, and my youngest daughter was watching the news and the doorbell went about 10:00 in the morning and this journalist was at the door, and said, sorry for your loss, would you like to talk to me about your brother, and clearly because she said he or she said brother, they knew this person was a child for a kick off and secondly, it would have been better to ask if there is a grown up in the house. and that must have been completely devastating because presumably she was on her own? yes. your son tweeted there were 50 online requests from journalists, that had come in. i suppose an individual request you think a journalist can be polite, but when the cumulative effect, what impact did that have?

we have had loads of requests and i know notes, business cards were shoved under daniel's door, and his flatmate got a note, and requests, there is loads. his friends and family, everyone my family abroad were actually hounded by the press, to give interviews or information about it all. what would characterise their approach to you, what would characterise the way people approached you 7 via twitter, via direct contact through the door, text messages, anything like that. of course, that could come from anywhere, you know, it is not particularly areas of the press or the uk press, it is from everywhere. yes we had requests from abroad. stuart murray, when you were watching your wife having to deal with this, and all these press inquiries about your late step—son, what did you see your wife go through and the family experience? it is a very traumatic time and i suppose for my perspective as a gp, i liken it to, if i had to break bad news to somebody, i wouldn't sort of call a junior reporter and ask

them to have a chat with the family first, and that is almost what happened. so, this sort of seems to be no sort of operation on a code of ethic, you know, i would like to be told first, that martyn has died or had the bad news broken to us before the people then start to face us, it wasn't until 10 o'clock in the evening we got the final news, so we were trying to be optimistic about what had happened, even though you knew the inevitable was going to occur. of course in the last ten months presumably and a resurgence today you have had more and more requests, i wonder if you can see a way with your experience of this, your dreadful experience as you see it, of a better way of approaching people, because there will be a desire to tell this story. yes, that is an interesting one, because itjust goes to show

the kerslake report being published, i have been approached, sort of both of us have been approached, all day yesterday, and all day today, i have actually given loads of interviews yesterday, loads today from different channel, everybody asking the same question, and i have turned six people down today, saying ijust can't do any more interviews sorry. so what would you say to people, because obviously, as i said individually but there is the cumulative effect of the pack ofjournalists so what is the way out of this? i know everybody is competing, but wouldn't it be amazing if the industry could make in a case like this, do more pooled interviews, maybe work with the police press office more and there might be staffing issues in some industries, but itjust keeps duplicating the same questions over and overagain, and it is a bit often overkill really.

working together. thank you, i will come back to you later, thank you very much indeed. lord kerslake when you started out, had you the intention of actually investigating how the press had handled it? no, we didn't to be honest. in fact, it came to us from the bereaved families and those who were injured, i met with figen and stuart myself and heard their story. i was appalled, ijust didn't believe that such things happened, but what we found, the weight of evidence from families, the overwhelming number was a seriously terrible thing was happening, and it, the fact that journalists were knocking on the doors of families, before they themselves knew, that their loved one was dead, i think is just unconscionable, you have to understand the scale of vulnerability at this point in their lives. ian murray, what do you think the problem was?

i am not here to defend the indefensible and the problem, you can say is a worldwide problem where there is basically a free media, the — there are obviously some rogue element, i can say most certainly there is not going to be a news room in the country, in print but in broadcast because broadcast came in for criticism as well, where there isn't a news editor or an editor who isn't shaking their head and saying they are dismayed with this. the manchester evening news was singled out for praise. it was. if i talk to you about editors, but the editor, the atmosphere is the editors want their journalists to have the story and human story, so the pressure is on the journalist to get that story. that is right. editors know that every time something like this happen, when a report comes out or an incident like this, it whittles away at the trust of the public. the point is you have a 16—year—old

girl, figen murrays' daughter being confronted and virtually told that her brother had died, and that... i am not here to defend that. i think there are two very important points that have come out of the report which the industry can look at. first there are some good guidelines, the editor's code of practise but with 0fcom as well, with broadcasting, that basically and those should be reinforced bang in the news room and going forward, i think it is right, that we should look at is there more we can do when we have these major incidents, to try and also... figen was talking about pooling, saying you have to say, that you pull, not everybody gets to talk to every relative, because it is that menacing, it is not individually, but it is the 50 people

outside the door. i could only agree with that. i think there are elements of problems you can see there, that after an incident, when there is the fall out and you can see then a pooling operation would be much more feasible. to put it in the "heat of battle" as it were, where you have journalists trying to get the story, that will be difficult, but these are problems to overcome and discuss. what do you think about figen‘s possibility, that there should be change and perhaps pooling is a good idea. i think it's a good idea and the bbc do that to cut down the number of approaches, but what i would say to you ian is this, the fire service have apologised, vodafone have apologised. do you not think there should be an apology from the press as well? most definitely, the industry has failed, as a whole, in that way, we haven't and rightfully from the report there is no finger pointing at particular publications saying these are the ones that are involved. those news rooms,

the editors would like to know if there is an accusation, an allegation against any of their team so they can look into it. if wrongdoing has taken place, apologies should come. the industry as a whole, i am quite sure, will basically be saying we haven't got this right yet. let us finish with figen. if you were to say one thing to the media industry tonight that would mange a change, what would it be? are you asking me what i would say is for instance, changes, you know, you need to move with the times and, the, inclusion of the internet, we forget about the internet, people have lifted photographs of martin, because he was, i was told he was so public, so, it was out there, it is up there for grabs.

well, martyn is dead now and those photos, behind each photo there is a personal story, and when you suddenly, you sit down and you flick through the channels, and suddenly, there is a photo of martyn on the telly and you don't expect it and it takes your breath away, that is something the industry may need to look at as well, everything out there on the internet shouldn't just be up for grabs when there is somebody dead, it is upsetting. thank you all very much indeed for taking part tonight. the uk may not have voted for brexit if it hadn't been for "cheating" by the leave campaign, a former employee of cambridge analytica claimed today. christopher wylie — the computer expert turned whistle—blower — who has sparked a global debate over electronic privacy since his revelations about the data grab of more than 50 million facebook profiles — told a parliamentary select committee that vote leave and other pro—brexit groups had a "common plan" to get around spending controls. vote leave deny the claims. in a moment, we'll hear from christopher wylie, but first — here's chris cook. here it comes.

the truth is coming! the referendum campaign was a festival of buses and boats and rallies and speeches and placards and petitions. but while the ground war was raging out in the open, concern has been mounting about a campaign conducted in the shadows online. much has focused on cambridge analytica, the political campaigns company who were revealed to have facebook data from 50 million people, harvested in a rather troubling way. a former contractor for that company kicked that issue into the open once again today in front of the culture, media and sport committee. 0n britain, christopher wylie made three major claims. the first allegation was that vote leave must have used data from cambridge analytica,

but obtained it via another company. aggregate iq or aiq. the second allegation is that vote leave wanted to spend more on advertising via aiq than vote leave were allowed to within the limits set by election law. so, it is alleged, they gave money to front groups to spend and, mr wylie says, that money didn't go into a separate line of advertisements with its own targeting. it went to the same vote leave advertising programme. i am absolutely convinced that there was a common plan and common purpose with vote leave, beleave, the dup and veterans for britain. the third allegation is this could all have swung the vote for leave. i think it is completely reasonable to say that there could have been a different outcome in the referendum, you know, had there not been — in my view — cheating. there have already been vigorous denials.

aggregate iq said... "aggregate iq has never entered into a contract with cambridge analytica. and worked in full compliance within all legal and regulatory requirements. all work aggregate iq does for each client is kept separate from every other client." vote leave‘s dominic cummings said... "vote leave‘s donations to the arm's—length groups were legal. the electoral commission gave us written permission. the whistle—blowers are provably lying. we leave the eu in a year and this lame gossip won't even be a historical footnote." if you look just at advertising and media spend, the leave campaign actually outspent the remain campaign by a sizeable amount. and these third—party groups are an important reason why. the thing is though, if you ask senior data wranglers for the remain campaign whether they think this is why they lost, they say no. and they give three important reasons. first of all, they think this extra money wasn't spent well. secondly, they point out that remain had its own advantages,

like the support of the government machine. and finally, as one put it to me, online advertising isn't magic. repeatedly studies have shown that the data that really works or drives voting turnout is previous voting history and census data. and so the data that a digital platform might offer you might be more specific, but it's not clear at all that those micro—targeting techniques are any better than traditional campaign techniques of targeting. there are specific serious claims about deliberate breaches of election and data protection law that have emerged in recent weeks. they need investigating. 0ur electoral and privacy regulators are also struggling to cope with the century we live in. but this is a world where a lot

of people have an incentive to over claim about what makes a difference to campaigns. take claims on all sides with a massive dose of salt. cheering earlier i spoke to christopher wylie, and i put it to him that there was no evidence that the co—ordination he is alleging took place between different leave campaigns had any impact on the outcome of the vote. i take issue with that. because you know, first of all we have to take a step back and look at what is cheating and how much should we tolerate cheating in our democratic process. if an athlete in the olympics is caught doping and using illicit drugs, we don't ask the question, well, how much did the drug influence their results? maybe they would have been first, maybe they would have come second. if you cheat, you don't get your medal. and in something as important as our democracy, we shouldn't stand for cheating. vote leave have entirely denied this. but the point is that the people that voted leave didn't vote leave necessarily because of something that was spent, they voted leave because they believed that the uk,

that they wanted the uk to leave the european union. so why do we have spending limits in the first place? if you extend that logic, we should allow unlimited amounts of money in our campaigns. but you know, campaigns matter. campaign influence elections. that is why we have them. so what i'm saying is if vote leave used a scheme to overspend in the most critical week, in the last week, by £625,000, given how close the actual results was, i think it is fair and reasonable to question did that have an effect on the result? you know, 40% of leave spending... you think then that that difference was made to 600,000 people's intention to vote? that money, £625,000, buys quite a bit of advertising online. and if you are targeting it at the right amount of people,

yes, that absolutely can influence a result. i have worked in targeting for years. you can influence results with targeting and with messaging. it can be as simple as reminding enough people to go and vote that you influence turnout. but i think to get back to the actual issue here that i'm here to talk about, which is what aiq was doing in the referendum and you know that this large amount of money was spent on targeting and that, you know, what i'm saying is this company received 40% of vote leave spending. dominic cummings said they could not have won without aiq. and what we have been revealing over the weekend and over this past week with three binders full of evidence, to suggest that the money that was spent on aiq was likely unlawful. and if that money was spent unlawfully on targeting. which they deny. they can deny all they want, but there are three binders full of evidence that has been sent to the electoral commission.

so you are saying that targeting worked. that is essentially what you're saying, that last—minute targeting worked. that is what i'm trying to get at. what evidence do you have that it worked? so, what i'm saying is something much more fundamental. which is that in order for us to have faith in our democratic institutions, we need to be confident that the law is followed. we need to be confident that there isn't cheating. if we do not have that confidence, we cannot have confidence in the democratic system and our system fails at that point. because the law is not followed. so what i'm saying is, i want to enforce the law, i want to reveal the cheating that i think happened in the referendum. and the question for people and the question for parliament is, for a choice that we can only make once, for a choice that is irreversible, we cannot undo brexit. 0k? and i'm not saying, i'm not saying that the british people did or did not support brexit.

what i'm saying is we need to be confident of that choice. i supported leave. i am a eurosceptic. i'm saying this as a eurosceptic. why am i eurosceptic? because i believe in british sovereignty and british law. and i want british law followed. that is what i'm saying. chris wiley, thank you very much indeed. christopher wylie there. vote leave have denied accusations that they broke the spending rules. aggregate iq say their firm has "never knowingly been involved in any illegal activity" and they work in full compliance within all legal and regulatory requirements in alljurisdictions where they operate. this week we're examining some of the key facets of brexit. with a year to go, you have to assume that planning for our departure is firmly on track — or is it? there's the national picture, but on a regional and local level, councils are also devising projects to make their areas brexit—ready. it's particularly pertinent in places like cornwall, which receives around £60 million in eu investment every year. the money's funded everything from road building,

to broadband improvement, and university expansion, as well as skills programmes for workers. katie razzall went to cornwall last week — just in time for the latest dump of bad weather — to find out what the plan is after we leave. a blustery morning at newlyn harbour, as the cornish coast meets the tail end of last week's mini beast from the east. it's a year until brexit, when we'll begin to chart our own course as a country. but what plans are afloat in this county for a confident departure? we were here two years ago, just ahead of the referendum, when much of the talk in newlyn was about taking back our waters. the weather was certainly better on my last visit. and for many, a future outside

the eu looked bright. when 56% of cornish voters opted to leave, it was of course about more than just fish. but for the fishing community here, it played a big role. at dawn, the latest catch goes on sale to local merchants. newlyn‘s fish market is being up graded with about £1 million of eu investment. but as we learned during the referendum campaign, money doesn't buy affection. particularly here. oh, look at that man. i recognise him. we've come back to see tony howes, who we met on our last visit. i'm all loaded and virtually ready to go. he's spent almost five decades in newlyn‘s fish trade. nice fresh fish on today. the majority of the fish caught round here is exported to europe. and the eu is threatening tariffs if the uk limits eu vessels' access to our waters. lovely fresh fish. off we go. instead of going to the fish shop to choose their fish, the fish shop goes to them.

tony's never wavered in his support for brexit. when we spoke before, he didn't doubt that the uk would vote to leave. my feeling is still the same. we are already selling fish to the continent. they are still going to want to buy it. we are still going to want to sell it. it's going to happen. as one of england's poorest regions, almost a tenth of all the money allocated by the eu for the country has been spent in cornwall. more than £1 billion in 20 years. when other countries realise how successful that we've been in doing what we're doing, then they're going to follow suit. you wait and see. it's going to happen. so, we've got to the first customer here now. a chance for us to find out what some of his regulars think. good morning. first stop, a pub which has benefited from eu funding. its manager voted out. management courses, qualifications we've done, that was all eu funded. and your company, is it planning at all, is looking at where you're

going to get the money that came from the eu? not particularly. luckily, we've thought ahead in the last 18 months and done everything as much as we can do to put everyone with the funding we have already had. so everyone is, you know, done now. so we should be all right for a few years. here you go, handsome. see you tomorrow. indeed. lovely, thank you very much. all the best. goodbye. the government has promised a shared prosperity fund for poorer regions after brexit, without much detail yet. how confident are you that the government will fill the gap left by eu funds disappearing? not very confident at all. i think we are easily forgotten down here. hopefully this gentleman will be in. well, i see a lack of planning. cornwall council asked the government for an assurance that the funding that cornwall has benefited from in the past would continue into the future. i don't recall having read that that insurance has been given. that worries me greatly. while we were here came the announcement of the uk — eu transition deal.

the news that the eu will keep control of fisheries policy until 2020 didn't go down well with tony and his colleagues. the transition deal stinks, doesn't it? they are selling us down the river yet again. as soon as we're out, and we should be out sooner, but i think we just need an exclusion zone and it should be protected for our own fishermen. why do they need to wait for such a long time? you know, we're coming out of europe, let's get it done. the mini beast from the east is easing off and the sky brightening. just along the coast from newlyn is penzance‘s recently modernised jubilee sea water pool. a chilly prospect right now, but there are plans to warm things up. when this geothermal dig is finished, a section of the pool will be heated naturally with water pumped through hot rocks deep in the ground. the project has received one of the last injections of eu investment cash this region will enjoy.

it is taking a little longer than expected, not unlike brexit itself. perceiving a lack of clarity at national level, this county is determined to be as ready and resilient as it can be for brexit. we have been given the summary to a still evolving document called new frontiers. it's this region's plan for what could happen here after brexit. it's still in draft form and will be launched later in the spring. but it says, if central government buys into the proposals, they could deliver more than 20,000 jobs to the local area and contribute two billion pounds to the economy. while safeguarding traditional cornish industries, the plan is to attract more high skilled jobs here, particularly in renewable energy, the creative industries, space technology and lithium mining. a building programme to offer homes to these new workers would provide employment across the county. but — and here's the rub — this can't be done, according to the document, without more devolution, more power at a local level.

they are quite good, aren't they? susan stuart runs a local hotel and is involved in penzance‘s regeneration projects. they are already looking to the private sector to fill the gap after brexit. do you think it's feasible that as a result of brexit, cornwall, you know, jobs could be created? i think so, because i think that cornwall as a local authority knows more about its own economy and what it's going to take to boost the economy. do you think brexit is an opportunity for cornwall? an opportunity for penzance? i think it has to become one. and it's very clear that chunks of money that we might have relied on for infrastructure from europe are not going to be there any more. i think one thing it can do is change our mindset in that cornwall can start to think more commercially, because it has to think more commercially. you need to bring in the regional government, you need to bring in big government. but also to get it right, maybe we can go to the private

sector and make the whole place become more investable. at this time of year cornwall, one of the world's biggest suppliers of daffodils, is a feast of yellow. when i first started farming here, the biggest problem we had was finding enough flower pickers. the answer forjames hoskin was eu labour. his farm employs up to 100 eastern europeans each season. what planning is he doing ahead of any future change to the rules on freedom of movement? actually probably not as much as you would think. personally i don't believe we can close the doors to other europeans because quite frankly, i think if you just take a county like cornwall, you have the hospitality industry, the vegetable industry, flower industry, and virtually every industry is now reliant on them. something will have to be done because otherwise, the first thing you will notice is literally within days,

i don't believe there will be any fresh vegetables on the supermarket shelves. so with the year to go, not much planning here. more a certainty that cornwall will get what it has requested. a special deal on low skilled workers to avoid fields of daffodils and vegetables left to rot in the ground. which would be a waste, given the trouble this company goes to to nurture plants like these lettuces for cornish farmers. in the last year, james has begun exporting some of his daffs to the us. there's an added touch, one that may have even more potential after brexit. grand britain. we had a lot of great e—mails from all over the states, people who have seen the unionjack and seen our web address on it. they have written, fantastic to see cornish daffodils for sale in montana. 0r washington or wherever they have bought them. others are also exporting britishness. take a guess what this is. it's tea. being grown in cornwall,

albeit with a dusting of snow. injapan they have a saying that the best tea grows under snow. so you need to have a balance of temperatures. that's all right for today then, isn't it! it's all right for today! tregothnan is the first place in britain to grow its own tea. they say it has caused a positive stir amongst tea lovers. and they aim to export 80% of their tea in future. there's a lot of thinking about brexit. i mean, it doesn't obsess us on a day—to—day basis. but every week it comes up in management meetings. obviously there is a threat in some ways. we've got to treat this as a serious business matter. but to look up the opportunity in it, so the whole premise of growing tea in the uk was to take a british product out to the world. the world doesn't owe us a living. the brexit ship has sailed. and here they are determined to make it work for cornwall. at county level that means a new industrial strategy. for individual businesses, a combination of carry on as before

and offer more to the world. but cornwall still needs investment to flourish. until it knows more about how the eu's funding will be replaced, it is unclear what tomorrow will bring. david mamet, the pulitzer winning american playwright, film director, and author, has penned his first novel in more than 20 years, a murder story set in prohibition era mobsterfilled chicago, the city of his birth where he was raised. the reader is plunged into a festering mix of gangs and tribes — italians, irish, jews, and african americans all trying to negotiate life and death, where the rules are complex and shifting. the novel entitled simply chicago is a television series waiting to happen. mamet — who won a pulitzer for his play glengarry glen ross — and wrote screenplays such as the postman always rings twice, and the verdict, no sooner had finished chicago than he went to work on a play about the under belly of hollywood, familiar

territory for mamet, but this time his target is harvey weinstein. i'm joined now from la by david mamet. good evening to you. hi, thanks for having me. let us talk about chicago first, it is billed as the book you have been building towards your whole life. i wonder if in a strange way it is is a love letter to your home town? i don't think of it as building to it for my whole life. i have been doing this for many years, i have written books and plays and fiction and nonfiction and this, i happened to get lucky, sit down one day and i was thinking about the city of chicago and wrote a tommy gun novel. very much the prohibition—era, it is the most colourful period in chicago's history. i think so, i was thinking, talking to you guys in england when i used to travel over there a long time ago, you told anybody in europe that

you came from chicago, and they made a tommy gun sound, they go rat—a—tat—tat. i don't think they do that any more, do they? they probably think of chicago as very much that, but as well as being in the prohibition era, your major protagonist has returned from being a pilot in the first world war, and that, that experience in a way infuses all the pages of this novel, and i wonder why remembering the war is so important for you? i am sorry, can you ask me that again, we have a bad connection. about the war, the first world war you are very interested in keeping the flame of that war alive, you give your character a history a an american pilot in the fest world war. yes, well, i know a lot of pilots

and my grandfather curiously was a working for the navy, in france, working on sea planes in the first world war, i have been fascinated by aviation, so the hero is an ex—pilot and a newspaper man, in the heyday of chicago newspapers, smoking cigars and all the reporters carrying guns so it is my attempt to imagine myself back into that world. no sooner had you finished the novel then you started a play on harvey weinstein, i wonder why you chose that particular character at this time funnily enough? well, i don't know, listen, i was listening to your newscast, and everybody is talking about brexit, so i mean i don't know how anybody on your side of the pond can go through the day without exchanging gossip and brexit and on this side, it is all sex scandals so that is informing everybody‘s day, as we try to come to an understanding of, of a new event in our midst. i wonder... that is what we got. you know the underbelly

of hollywood, you have in plays, written about the position of men, men in power, masculinity and so force forth, i wonder what you think this issue, particularly notjust with weinstein but generally for men in about finding their place in society and what is acceptable and what is not? well, i don't know, you know, politicians — we have them over here, you have them over there, they are a bunch of liars and cheaters, they always have been. we have a constitution and the purpose of the constitution comes downs to kick them out every couple of years because if they haven't gone bad yet they will. so what we are talking about both with brexit and harvey weinstein, is the — the incredible variety of human nature which is changing and always the same,

so every generation, discovers the same thing the previous generation discovered, as you get older, which is that nothing ever changes. but surely you must be optimistic that something will change in these human relationships and the way that a particularly men talk to women and deal with women and i wonder, do you have experience of that kind of thing in hollywood ? the harassment, more of the #metoo campaign, did you see it when you were working in hollywood, as you do now, as a playwright, a film director? well, things are changing and things are changing for the better in many ways throughout the western world, in the position of minorities and the position of women and the position of gay, they are changing phenomenally since the days whence i was a kid. when i was working very very seriously in show business, i didn't see, i spent most of my time as a writer and director, you are off the set as a writer on the set, but you are in charge as the director. but i have children who are actresses and put up with in the past
