A TEENAGER has launched his own pizza takeaway business.
Tom Stuart, 17, operates from his home near Turville on Saturday nights after spending £800 on two ovens.
On his best evening to date he sold 60 of his stone-baked Neapolitan-style pizzas, which have a “puffy” crust.
Tom, who is studying A-levels in business, photography and music at Shiplake College, learned to make pizzas during the first coronavirus lockdown last year.
He borrowed an oven from the Barn café at Turville Heath, where he has worked part-time for four years, while it was closed due to the Government restrictions to prevent the spread of covid-19.
The new film âMainstream,â directed and co-written by Gia Coppola, attempts to capture this current moment of social media influencers and online personalities with both a sense of emotional empathy and satiric bite. Actress Maya Hawke described the film as, âa Grimmâs fairy tale of the social media era.â
In the movie, Hawke plays a young woman named Frankie who is working as a bartender at a Hollywood dive and yearning to be an artist, taking pictures and posting videos online. When her video of a street performer named Link (Andrew Garfield) suddenly goes viral, they seize the moment. Link transforms himself into an online personality known as âNo One Special,â hosting a show that includes the game âYour Phone or Your Dignityâ and they both lose themselves to a construct not entirely of their own control.
