"Ray Gunn" with Brad Bird at Soho House

Brad Bird and "Ray Gunn"

Last week we had the chance to meet "Incredibles" Director Brad Bird at a pre-screening of his new movie "Ray Gunn" at Soho House last week. 

The event was organised by Netflix for AMPAS and BAFTA members, two nights before the official premiere of Ray Gunn at the London Film festival. 

After the film, director Brad Bird took questions about the making of the film and then chatted with guests over drinks in the bar at Soho House.
