London based filmmaker working on folk horror, weird shit, punk sci-fi satire and stuff that exudes a cosmic darkness. Progressive humane human. Obsessed with phantasmagoria, perpetually dreich. Sometimes a numpty, always the odd one out. He/him.
Update on Minda the Whippet. She's lost a lot of her fur on her hind quarters and tail due to a suspected thyroid problem but she seems perfectly calm about it all. In fact, here she is absolutely not giving a fuck about any of it.

Cheneyist zealots right now.

Minda would like to make a contribution.

I spotted this on the Tube today. Someone at Transport for London knew exactly what they were doing here... Resistence comes in many forms.

I've started seeing more analogue forms of advertising like this returning to our streets. A sign that the stranglehold that digital has over everything is starting to diminish? Are we finally starting to move past Meta?

Dealing with a thing related to my local council. They just insisted I carefully read this page on the website.

This is a screenshot of EVERYTHING that is on that page.

The incompetence of local bureaucracy is a quaint annoyance in these apocalyptic times. Must confess I found it almost endearing.

Hey, you can also find me on Linkedin, another place where I post angry, bitter shit. Like and fucking subscribe!

Clearly no one responsible for the choice of names for these dog toys grew up in the 90s.

Changing the mood on my timeline. This is the greatest film poster of all time.

No one will believe me, but this smiley face formed naturally from a water spill on my kitchen counter. I made a mess but also a happy face. I'm taking this as a good omen.

When there is no room in hell...

We already have one in London.

Interesting that these people think agreeing with the "legitimate concerns" of a small rabble of flag wearing psychopaths have against the existence of non white people in this country is not an indicator of racism at the highest levels of the Labour Party is one hell of a take to have.

Make a wish, everyone.

Have reported. Let's see if it does any good. I'm not holding my fucking breath...

This is what I'm talking about, by the way. Absolutely shameless. There is no decency or standards any more. The people who approved this are all monsters and are complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

By the way, this is a picture my friends kid drew a few months back. It's practically a photo, to be honest...
August 20, 2025 at 2:51 PM
My friend just drew this picture of me. This is what I look like when I'm trying to write, apparently...

This used to be a Boots pharmacy. This is what happens when you make a trade agreement with America.

Good morning acid in the face extortion letter written in appalling AI. Wonderful.

This is from an application form for a freelance editor. What the fuck has happened to my industry? These conditions are unacceptable. A performance leaderboard? The expectation that work is something you GIVE rather than expecting remuneration? A fucking UNIFORM? What is this, the Blackshirts?

A photo you’d use as an album cover.

The castors on my edit suite chair are breaking down. As metaphors go, it's all a bit on the nose...
July 6, 2025 at 3:35 PM
The job ad was asking for experienced editors and was clearly written using AI. Wankers.
