His godfather David Furnish has now spoken about his appreciation for the 22-year-old’s film and his hopes that they can work together soon.
“I’m so proud of him as a filmmaker and so proud of him as a human being,” Furnish tells me at the Attitude Awards at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London.

Bill cannot get satisfaction from LP
Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman was not happy with his surprise contribution to Hackney Diamonds, the band’s latest album – even though Mick Jagger praised his playing on the song Live By The Sword.
Wyman, 87, says: ‘Mick called me from France and said how much he liked what I’d done, but I said to the producer, Andrew Watt, “Do you have another song?”, because I didn’t really like it that number they put me on.
“It seemed too busy, too much going on, there was no air in it.”
He complains, “It didn’t break, it didn’t breathe, it just freaked out.”
