I would love to know how it went down with Spielberg and Landis. Also, I love George.

Hit the 55,000 word mark on the current novel I’m writing. I’ve been working on it on and off for a couple of years, but with the end in sight, I’m gonna push on to the end now. No greater feeling.

I’ll have a table at this year’s Nottingham Book Festival at the Broadway Cinema on the 5th September where I’ll be hawking my books. Come and say hello and buy one of my nostalgic, cinematic, supernatural, Bildungsroman stories.

I used to agonise over typos in my work. Now I don’t care because at least it shows that it is real, that an actual human wrote it, with all their faults and foibles. Embrace human inconsistencies.

Just to mark the date. I finished a new, original spec script today. A horror film. First screenplay I’ve written without a co-writer for about 5 years. Low budget, one location, 6 characters. Proper chamber piece. It’s a vampire film as well. #screenwriter #featurefilm #lowbudget #indiefilm

At a film festival today where I’m up for Best Documentary (for THE UNKNOWN REFUGEE) and I have a feature film I co-wrote start shooting tomorrow (IMPROPER BASTARDS). These things don’t happen often so thought I’d just celebrate.

Andrew David Barker @adbarker.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Been seeing a spate of “you’re an idiot if you like this film”. Fuck off. That’s elitist bullshit. There something for everyone out there. People connect to films, books, music, whatever, for different reasons. Yeah, not in the mood this week.

@peterhcameron.bsky.social Hi Peter, I know this is a long shot, but I’m a screenwriter in the UK & I wondered if you fancied checking out a 15 min award-winning time travel short? We made it for £650 & a hell of a lot of favours!! Would love to know what you think. Thanks. youtu.be/Oagv4Vt8zQg?...
