Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Liam Calvert’s feature-length debut A Night Like This (2025) draws inspiration from classics such as Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise (1995). Set in London over the course of an evening, the film brings together the privileged Oliver (Alexander Lincoln) and the gay actor Lukas (Jack Brett Anderson). This chance meeting at a pub proves transformative for them both as they confront their individual traumas. As the night progresses, they come to know each other, and we them. In this interview, Calvert goes over his inspirations for this dialogue-heavy film, how it evolved and developed with the casting of Lincoln and Anderson, the changes to London including those brought about by Brexit, and the characters’ physical and emotional journeys as they tour the city. We see and experience London, including some hidden gems, through their eyes. This interview advances scholarship by introducing us to Calvert’s project, by going over some of the affordances and challenges of filming in the city, and by exploring how he sees the characters developing (and not developing).

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
