To anyone on the London tube listening to a looped mind the gap announcement thinking who can be that clumsy/stupid to fall into the gap between the train and the platform- I’m that person. This is only a top of an iceberg of stupid accidents I had. Most of them were funny only after a while.

Writer or director characters are one of my personal pet peeves. After reading hundreds of new writers funding submissions, it’s a pattern that comes up quite a lot. The below thoughtful guide on how to move beyond that comfort zone is definitely worth a read. #scriptsky #filmmaking

I had to set aside a dream I’d held since I was 16 — becoming an independent producer. Without personal financial support, it didn’t feel sustainable. I still hope to return to it, but with the industry as it is, it’s hard to say when. #producing #filmmaking www.screendaily.com/news/second-...

Huge congratulations to the team! Mr Bates vs The Post Office is a powerful reminder of why I love this industry. Now more than ever, we need stories that stand for something. It’s so encouraging to see it recognised — and making real change beyond the screen. #bafta #scriptsky #britishtv #hetv

Sadly, I’ve been in this position more times I’d like to admit to myself. It’s disheartening — creative work is real work, and it deserves proper recognition. People don’t live and pay bills in exposure or portfolio. We owe it to each other to break this cycle! #scriptsky #filmsky #tvsky

In my opinion Flow is the biggest winner of #oscars. This tiny production made with free #blender won with the best names of the #animation industry. It’s a legendary achievement! I hope that it will give more courage to animators out there and open up more funding opportunities. #indieanimation

According to the public announcements, several Oscar nominated films this year have used AI. There’s still no guidance on how to approach intellectual property in that kind of cases. Is it possible that those films will disappear soon as they won’t be able to clear rights? #AI #Oscars #filmsky

Both directors and producers have been struggling to earn any money. Film financing requires urgent changes; otherwise, we won’t see any new indie films soon. I’m not convinced Sing Sing is a sustainable model, but it could inspire alternative approaches. #filmsky open.spotify.com/episode/0j5v...

Showing that women of different ages have sexuality in films like Babygirl or even the new Bridget Jones is great. But, the Thelma and Louise rewatch made me realise that since 1991, the validation of women's experiences hasn’t received much more representation. Are we missing the point? #film

A still from the film Thelma and Louise. Two women seating on top of a cabriolet in poses expressing confidence. Louise, on the left it wearing a white cowboy hat and a white top, Thelma on the right is wearing dark sunglasses and a black top with a skull.
