Robin Monotti on Writing Lyrics for Eric Clapton, Creating The Book of Vision Movie

"Starting with culture, early on we started a collaboration to do with information, to do with news, to do with analysis with Dr Mike Yeadon and Cory Morningstar, and we started a Telegram channel."

"Then as a spin off from the channel, Eric Clapton reached out and asked me to help with the lyrics of two songs. One is called Heart of a Child and another one is called Pompous Fool.

But today I want to talk to you about something else I did, which is a film which I received a script of in 2017. And the script was about a journey into the history of the doctor-patient relationship approach from the point of view of the philosophy of medicine in the form of a historical fantasy drama. And it came with a note by the American director Terrence Malick, thanking the reader of the note in advance for the contribution to cinema. I didn't know what was going to happen then.

I wasn't quite sure why I had this sense that I needed to produce this film from that point of view back then. It's probably a crazy idea, maybe still a crazy idea today, to get involved in medicine, doctors—people don't go to the cinema for that."
