Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 07/04/2026How sad and somewhat ‘appropriate’ that a product that is made by destroying millions of acres of rainforest on earth ( #palmoil ) should be advertised on a trip to another celestial body. 🫤 #Nutella 000

Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 01/01/2025‘Talking Rubbish’ coming to a Film Festival’ near you this year! #comedy #shortfilm #director #actorslife 010
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 01/01/2025No acting work in 24. So I made my own work and made a #comedy #short film. I’m more proud of #TalkingRubbish than anything I’ve ever done. Not least because I gave jobs to 9 actors and creatives. We start at @borderlinesff.bsky.social on 2nd March and more festivals to come in 25! 021
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Our #Christmas #nativity scene is up and running. Complete with the Baby Cheeses. 😁 010
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 21/12/2024That’s the Xmas shopping all sorted - going to celebrate with a nice coffee and ‘Peter Cooks Bread Chocolate Custard Cruffin’! Aka Ledbury Cocaine. (I’ll distract the cat with some Dreamies) 000
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Just seen the assembly edit for our #comedy #shortfilm #TalkingRubbish and I am more proud of this than anything else I’ve ever done in my professional career. @pamelamayoss.bsky.social & #AlisonGeorge- such amazing comedic talent! 😁❤️ 🎥🎬 031
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 07/12/2024If you’ve just directed your first #shortfilm and you’re over 60 years old, can you still be classed as an ‘emerging’ talent? Asking for an imaginary friend. 010
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Me & the amazing @pamelamayoss.bsky.social going through the scene with Angus. He’s looking for his motivation. 🤷♂️ #TalkingRubbish #comedy #shortfilm #dogsofX #actors 171

Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Had a wardrobe test with Angus, one of the stars of our #shortfilm #TalkingRubbish today - very opinionated, but he’s worth it… @pamelamayoss.bsky.social @latestdad.bsky.social #actors #comedy 020
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Basically, can’t get work as an actor anymore it seems, ‘The Industry’ just doesn’t want what I have to offer, so far from give up I’m making my own work. Directing a short comedy film next week and it’s going to be 🤣🔥 010
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Woo Hoo! Fully crewed and cast for our comedy short, ‘Talking Rubbish’ We shoot in 2 wks. Although no bugger told me how difficult it would be to produce it… @ginalyons.bsky.social I’m talking to YOU! 😆 140
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Lets not forget, Twatter started off with not many participants, l'd wager, the majority of the 'normal' people will migrate to here and we'll end up with conversations we're happy to engage in.....until some bastard billionaire buys it, then we'll all fuck off somewhere else again. 😀 010
Ian Donnelly @iandtheactor.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Hi everyone, well, both of you. Did a read-through of our short comedy film yesterday with Pamela Mayoss & Alison George. Wonderful actors! We’ll share the journey on here! 031
