## Resource

Returning guest Pen Densham joins this episode of the Movies In Focus podcast. Pen is a hugely talented writer, producer and director, who is probably best known for writing and producing Kevin Costner’s iconic 1991 adventure, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves alongside his film-making partner, John Watson. He also has a whole host of other interesting film credits to his name - including: Blown Away with Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones, cult favourite Tank Girl , Bill Murray comedy Larger Than Life and submarine thriller Phantom with David Duchovny and Ed Harris. On the TV front, Pen has also been involved in the reboot of The Outer Limits, Poltergeist: The Legacy and The Magnificent Seven , to name but a few. This time around I talked with Pen about his fascinating photography and his new coffee table book, Qualia . We also discussed his passion for creativity, Artificial Intelligence in film - and of course, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves .
