Guardian Interview with Col Needham

You've probably never heard of Col Needham but you have definitely seen his work.  He is without a doubt one of the most important Brits in the film industry at the moment and his invention was a turning point in how we talk about films because he is a the creator of IMDB, the biggest film directory in the world.

He also comes across as a genuinely nice guy in this piece by Catherine Shoard, found here.

My secret plan … well, my broadly public plan" – he pauses for a happy laugh – "is to make everyone love film and TV as much as I do. Growing up, we went to the cinema quite a lot. But it wasn't until I got online that I started being able to discuss films with other people."

My kind of guy
