@musichallsociety.bsky.social We have had some wonderful screenings of our Laurel & Hardy film over the past year, Slapstick Fest, Britannia Panopticon, Irish Cultural Centre & Blackpool Showtown. We would LOVE to show it in London at Wilton’s Music Hall. Can you help? #filmmaker

The guy was a genius. Good to see him being remembered on Bluesky. Must carry on his legacy 🎥🤪

I’m a filmmaker and lover of old school comedy so it was a joy to attend a screening of the new Ken Dodd documentary. He really did devote his life to entertainment. Good news is BBC 2 will be screening it next month. Wonder if Sir John Birt put a good word in? #filmmaker #Leicester De Montfort Hall

You don’t make much money making independent films, especially about old slapstick comedians but when you get reviews like this after a Q&A screening it’s all worth while and you can’t wait to make another! #documentary #comedy #filmmaker
