Film music works in two ways: composed for the image, or borrowed with history attached. I've written a new blog post comparing Schindler’s List and Inglourious Basterds, what this means for filmmakers and creators - and when a composer makes sense! www.charlieparkin.co.uk/post/schindl...

I think it’s incredibly psychologically healthy to be permitted a time of year where you can more or less forget what day of the week it is. Take off that shared construction for a bit and rest your perception of time.

YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH. So what can we all do? Well if you see a film, show or advert that you enjoy, then tell people about it. If you know a filmmaker and they post up a clip or image then like it and comment. Check in our film industry friends and check they're okay. They really might not be
