Rob Bennett - Sculptor - Artist - Dad

Joining me this week, Rob BennettRob is my dad, and I come from a family that’s always loved film. My parents’ tastes have had a huge influence on my own journey, so it felt only right to invite one of them onto the podcast. Since my mum prefers to stay out of the spotlight, my dad stepped up.Rob has lived a fascinating life. Growing up in post-war London, he witnessed the city transform during some incredible decades for art and culture. His career placed him right at the heart of creative circles—working as the art editor of 19 and Honey magazine, as well as a photographer, and even producing light shows. He’s seen and experienced a remarkable range of artistic worlds.Unsurprisingly, his film choices reflect that rich background—spanning genres, exploring bold themes, and never shying away from challenging subjects.I hope you enjoy the episode.My letterboxd: My film Reel Terror: Support the show
