As we approach releasing our first 5 episodes, here’s one more clip for you - showrunner Simon Mirren discussing with @alicefraser.bsky.social and me why AI is not art, but the formulaic nature of crime shows and AI cost saving can bring formats to new territories. AI&The Creative Professional ep 4.

I was on @france24.com French TV discussing AI and creativity ahead of Cannes Film Festival. If you want to hear a measured view from someone’s who’s actually in the media industry, not an evangelist or a full denier, follow along ☺️

Disappeared off this app for a while. I directed a short film! It’s ready! It’s a dark multi-perspective comedy about a conservative couple who order an escort for the night… but nothing is what it seems. #ThreeTheMovie #Filmmaker

I need to find a neurodivergent community on here. Where are my late-diagnosed moms whose neurospicy ways have crept up on them? And you can suddenly see the traits in your offspring, with glaring clarity? (Both positive and negative?) I want to navigate this right. If there is a ‘right’.

Writers. Is it normal for outlets to want ALL rights to a story you write for them freelance? In perpetuity? Even if it’s a personal story? And also pay really low? That seems… not sustainable.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

In 2019, with a large, cold three bedroom top floor flat, the heating on full in winter, the bill was never more than £85. In 2024, with a well insulated, modern two bed flat, running appliances at night, with NO heating on, the bill is easily £90. I’m just nauseated at the constant ripping off.

My pilot Dead Parents Club is about this moment, and those us who were very young and thought we were heading into one world, when really it became something else entirely.

Writers(increasingly shrill): It’s okay if you only write a page a day! …a sentence a day!! … a word. Even a word. A coffee, a blank page and thinking about a word?
