It is deeply strange to see images that I filmed, that would not exist if if hadn’t absolutely insisted that they were filmed, racking up tens of millions of views.

I can remember leaving the shot on Emilia’s face, trying to hold focus.

Really loved this far reaching conversation with Barbara Twist for Dear Producer outlining why I don’t want to just ~birth~ the film, I want to raise the baby

I get that reasoning. But when you’re right at the front?

Maybe it’s not as bad irl but I would be fuming if this was view of Self Esteem

Feels almost inevitable that the millennium dome ended up in an Adam Curtis film #shifty

Not saying I’m a film nerd, or that being based at @broadwaycinema.bsky.social has had an influence or anything but I’ve seen all but 3 of these @nytimes.com top 100 films so far. 57/60 ain’t bad

Spotted this gorgeous Shiba inu dog today.

Me: “He’s so lovely, that’s the kind of dog I’d love to get.
What’s he like?”

Owner: “Honestly, he’s an arsehole”

Huge thanks to everyone who came to my #sxswlondon talk today - about the radical creative direct distribution of @yrfatfriendfilm.bsky.social

If you’re interested, sign up to my mailing list - I will be releasing it in chapters.

Hey @sxsw London folks - I’ll be there next Friday 6 June to talk about how in spite of quiet times at the box office, the radical, creative distribution of @yrfatfriendfilm connected deeply with audiences, sold out cinemas and made a lasting impression on venues

Hey bluesky. Where does the best roast Sunday roast in Nottingham or nearby - has to have a decent vegetarian option and be available in the evening.

Some Fanny for the algorithm

Thank you!!

If you inherited a cinema, what’s your first double feature?

Thanks to @maximinalist.bsky.social for my free ticket to Operation Mincemeat today.

Operation - respond to a stranger on bluesky and see a show with them - was a success!

Aroura alert right now in the uk but can’t see any in Nottingham!

I really loved Leo Scott’s film VAL (on Sky) from a few years ago. Such a tender take on Val’s health and the complexities of legacy. RIP Val Kilmer

I need your ICELAND recommendations. Headed there for a few days. A long delayed trip - we were supposed to go March 2020 and we all knew what happened there.

The incredible score that @taracreme.bsky.social wrote. Seeing it recorded live was a truly memorable experience. I love the way Tara’s music flows through the film.

With Olga Fitzroy @daisycoole.bsky.social and more!
