Some interviews are structured Q&A. Others are emotional improv theatre.

Red carpets look glamorous until you realise they are held together by safety pins, schedule delays, and pure emotional damage. We had a situation where a talent was confirmed for a major premiere. Posters printed. Interviews scheduled. Cameras allocated. Then, 15 minutes before arrival, the outfit “no longer aligned with personal branding.” Which is PR speak for: we are starting over emotionally and logistically.

There is a special kind of silence that only exists right before your phone lights up at 11:47pm with the words: “Hi, urgent.”
