For all we know, Lumon is just what Ben Stiller thinks corporate workplaces are actually like and Severance is written completely in earnest as a workplace dramedy.

Sometimes when life’s got me down, I’ll go on Reddit and indiscriminately downvote every post I see until I feel better

The thing I’m learning over and over again when it comes to DIY special effects is that the simplest solution is often the best solution. I can’t help but make things complicated for myself.

I know what The Gorge is about, having seen the trailer, but I’m still watching it going “no man don’t leave the tower that is such a bad idea”

Turns out the Final Destination dvd has two games as part of the bonus features. Really fun until it told me I’m going to die in June next year.

I do love it when a 30 minute production call turns into a 90 minute conversation about films and how much we love them.

What am I doing tonight? Shooting some janky horror on my phone with three other grown men. In other words, living the dream and crushing it.

You’re inviting celebrities to your wedding in the hope you’ll get a gift. I’m invoicing companies I’ve never worked at for work I’ve never done. We are not the same.

Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease.

For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below;

First shoot doing sfx in the bag. Happiest I’ve been on set in a very long time.

I think the problem is that the right are openly fascist doing fascist shit while the left stand there with their hands on their hips repeating “isn’t it terrible. Won’t somebody do something?” ad nauseam while doing absolutely nothing aside from tweeting about it.

There’s no rush quite like reading someone’s Wikipedia page and seeing a “controversies and/or legal issues” section. Gimme that tea.

Blanket apology to every podcast I’ve cursed under my breath recently for poor sound mixing. Turns out I had the bass boost on and I didn’t realise. My b.

En route to Belgium for a couple of days, with a visit to Bruges on the cards. Will be irritating my fiance all weekend by quoting In Bruges nonstop. Can’t decide if it’ll be better or worse for her having not seen it yet. Time will tell.

If you don’t want to make music, don’t make music. So many people feeling hard done by because they haven’t got the creative prowess or patience to learn a skill but feel entitled to its fruits. This is just for people who want to *want* to make art, but feel that dedication to craft is beneath them

9 pages so far. It’s working.
Tricking myself into writing this year by setting “no writing” as my New Year’s resolution. I seldom stick to New Year’s resolutions so this ought to do it.
