6th draft of my feature screenplay done & sent off to the script editor for feedback. 🫡

I don't think I've written so many drafts of something in my life, but each iteration makes me proud, if not still slightly embarrassed, of how far its come.

Now... time to write more Emmrich Volkarin fanfic. 😅

I’m genuinely gutted, at a loss for words. This year we’ve lost so many greats. David Lynch. Robert Redford, just to name a few. To me, Diane Keaton was one of my role models, a woman I’ve looked up to since I was a child. Thank you for everything, Diane. Your work means the world to me. 😔❤️

Can't believe I got to work with the brilliant @timethehobo.bsky.social as part of the @thefadeserver.bsky.social's AU Emmrich zine. 🥹

They created this piece for my old Hollywood inspired fic, perfectly capturing Emmrich & Rook's yearning and passion for each other. 🔥❤️‍🔥

So honoured to be part of this collaboration between Wales and Japan, thank you so much @cardiffanimfest.bsky.social for letting me be involved. It means the world to me, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this opens up future parternships between the animation industries in both countries. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇯🇵

Manfred attempts to make a glamour

#dragonage #datv #emmrichvolkarin #emmrook
Dragon Age fan art cartoon 2 panels Top panel: Manfred is pondering how to make a glamour that looks like both Emmrich and Rook. He's doing Manfred Math: Daddy (Emmrich) + Mommy (Rook) = Manfred ? What would that look like? There are various math equations floating around him because he's thinking hard. Bottom panel: Manfred shows off his new glamour. It looks like a Picasso-esque amalgam of both Rook and Emmrich, with one elf ear, and one human ear, one big eye and one of Rook's eyes. Amazing. Rook's laughing and Emmrich looks stunned.

A Drunken Refrain: archiveofourown.org/works/70476681

After one too many shots of tequila, Emmrich confesses his love for Rook and then, whilst she drags him all the way home, proceeds to cry about it. 😆🥃

In celebration of Werner Herzog winning the GOLDEN LION at the opening of the Venice film Festival here are his 24 rules for filmmakers. What's great is that they can apply to any creative project.
Always take the initiative. There is nothing wrong with spending a night in jail if it means getting the shot you need. Send out all your dogs and one might return with prey. Never wallow in your troubles; despair must be kept private and brief. Learn to live with your mistakes. Expand your knowledge and understanding of music and literature, old and modern. That roll of unexposed celluloid you have in your hand might be the last in existence, so do something impressive with it. There is never an excuse not to finish a film. Carry bolt cutters everywhere. Thwart institutional cowardice. Ask for forgiveness, not permission. Take your fate into your own hands. Learn to read the inner essence of a landscape. Ignite the fire within and explore unknown territory. Walk straight ahead, never detour. Manoeuvre and mislead, but always deliver. Don’t be fearful of rejection. Develop your own voice. Day one is the point of no return. A badge of honor is to fail a film theory class. Chance is the lifeblood of cinema. Guerrilla tactics are best. Take revenge if need be. Get used to the bear behind you.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

I like how Pete Docter has that extremely unfortunate pull-quote that new Pixar films will shift away from directors' personal stories to focus on "stories with clear mass appeal and universal themes" only for Sony Animation's extremely specific "KPop Demon Hunters" to become a huge hit
