And that's a final wrap on principal photography for our World War One feature length film "One Night in Flanders" 🎬 Many thanks to all our development team, cast & crew. If it weren't for them, telling this story based on actual events simply would not have been possible.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore Raiders of the Lost Ark. So to finally revisit it on the big screen after 45 years was pretty amazing. Whether 9 years old or 54 years young this movie will always have a special place in my heart. In other words "It's not the years honey. It's the mileage"

Sad news. Great actress. And a Glasgow girl too. R.I.P. Phyllida Law 😢

Sad to hear the passing of Sam Neill. A gifted actor who always brought that extra something to each performance. Appearing in a wide range of roles and productions, I think one of his most impressive performances was playing the part of Alisdair Stewart in Jane Campion's "The Piano". Rest in peace.

Happy 100th Birthday to this wonderfully funny man. Thank you for The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein to name but a few. The world needs more light right now, so thank you for being you, Mel Brooks! ♥️

Went to see this earlier tonight at the GFT. A much needed inspirational film about people power overcoming a great wrong in such challenging times. Documentary film-making at its best. Made me feel proud to be a Glaswegian. Oh, and the company wasn't too bad either... 😉

Is mainland Europe and the U.K. at long last finally learning from the mistakes of WWII by realising they cannot ever appease or negotiate with a madman? 🤔

Following my post a couple of days ago, I’m very happy to share that our short film “Welcome to Salem” went on to win the Silver Award for ‘Best Thriller’ at the New York Movie Awards. Once again, my heart felt thanks to all our friends and family for their continuing support and encouragement.

Double nice start for 2026! Our latest short film “Welcome to Salem” has been officially selected for consideration at the New York Movie Awards (probably our last U.S. submission for some time) as well as being a Finalist in the Best Horror Film category at the Art Film Awards.

So much for "The Peacetime President". One could be forgiven for thinking this has something to do with Venezuela holding the world's largest proven oil reserves, but I'm sure that would just be a silly rumour.

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele 😢😢 He directed some exceptional films, including This Is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally (my personal favourite), Misery, A Few Good Men and The Bucket List. May they both rest in peace ♥️♥️

Rest in Peace, Prunella Scales. Such a wonderful talent (her portrayal of "Sybil" in Fawlty Towers is a masterclass in comedic acting) I remember seeing her and the late Timothy West in the reception of The Citizens Theatre a few years back. They looked so happy together. Reunited once again...

Paul Darroch @pauldarroch.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

This was just wonderful. Brought both a laugh and a wee tear to the eye in equal measures. A few familiar faces in there too. Check it out when you can...

Paul Darroch @pauldarroch.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

As is my way, I'm once again late to the party. But man was it worth the wait. Believe the hype: it's a goddam masterpiece. And it could not be more timely. Di Caprio is excellent, but Sean Penn's performance is just off the scale...

Paul Darroch @pauldarroch.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Poor ole Donald. Maybe someone should set up the Nobel Anti-Peace Prize (similar to the Razzie Awards during the Oscars) That way Trump could be a serious contender, closely followed by his best pals Netanyahu, Putin and Kim Jong Un
