@mako Gary Oldman is amazing in it. Also love that much of it is filmed in Camden. Fun to see the characters in a location I was at just a few months ago.

I'm creating a book based on my Skill Trees project to help you track your progress, earn points and level up your skills across a huge range of areas. It'll be a great way to break through imposter syndrome while giving you small steps to level up. Here's a sneak peek!

You can sign up on my website to get updates on launch, ETA mid 2024: makerqueen.com.au/skill-trees-1

A mock up of 'Skill Seeker' a book featuring a huge range of skill trees to gamify learning. Colour in the tiles, level up your skills and tally up your points to calculate your life XP score.
