Yes am currently holidaying in #Ibiza and having a great time. Yet am still alive to the harmful effects of mass tourism. Keyworkers & residents shouldn't be living in tents youtu.be/qisKYzHRA3E?...

A moment from #scifi tv that always leaves your eyes a little moist. I'll start #startrek youtu.be/q0fI6SR6Qow?...

REVIEW Can you make a charming comedy out of something as ordinary as a Nicki Minaj shower curtain? Director Jessica Sanders proves you absolutely can. I Want to Feel Fun premiers at Tribeca Film Fest tonight at 6 cine-bijou.co.uk/i-want-to-fe... #comedy #shortfilm🎞📽⚡️ #tribeca2025 #supportindiefilm

Given recent events I think am going back to 'I am Persian' instead of Assyrian/Iranian when asked about my background. Somebody actually told me that I couldn't be Assyrian as they don't exist anymore. Really? m.youtube.com/watch?v=JZCS...

I always find time to write on holiday. #authors #bookproject #writing #writingcommunity

The perfect Americano and I had to go all the way to #Ibiza to find it. #coffeetime

#newprofilepicture

Finally away on holiday exploring #Ibiza (my first time) but making time to work on book projects. Wherever I go am always #writing - #writingcommunity #author

In my last #vlog I mentioned podcasting as an income source. This article by @businessinsider.com shows how at 3 levels. Hope for us all yet #podcasting #freelancelife #podcastingasabusiness www.businessinsider.com/how-much-mon...

What is it about these supposedly solid rightwing bromances that end up in pieces on the floor? #trump #elonmusk

Hmm AI Powered video editing courtesy of this French startup. Unsure how I feel about this - on the one hand this is a great idea and a time saver if you're an SME. But hate the thought it could take work away from people. #ai #video #editing www.eu-startups.com/2025/06/what...

At the time I interviewed Samy & reviewed the film the travel ban was in full effect & so I wrote this piece for Open Democracy. Is it worth asking this question again or has the time for laughter passed? #travelban #donaldtrump #supportindiefilm www.opendemocracy.net/en/transform...

And here's part 2. Am no Tiny Robbins but hearing thecwords and seeing me get more animate picked me up a little.

#midweekmotivation I shot this in 2 parts. I'm stammering because earlier in the day I hit a wall. I guess I needed to hear this to get me on track. #depression #winningday #writing

Apparently people are shocked that the US House doesn't read all of the Bills in full before passing them incl. Certain representatives. Really? So nobody remembers this.....? youtu.be/V1yiAEi_Apw?...

ICYMI I share my tips on how to be successful as a fulltime #freelance #writer and highlight the one mistake I made which you should avoid. #freelancelife #vlogs #youtube #author

#pridemonth might cause chagrin to certain political leaders but for us it's a reason to celebrate. 10 years ago @ramonwrites.bsky.social spoke with writer/director Philippe Audi-Dor & reviewdc his debut feature WASP #supportindiefilm cine-bijou.co.uk/film-review-... cine-bijou.co.uk/interview-ph...

I first spoke with @galeannehurd.bsky.social way back in 2013 for my book on the making of Tremors - today we finally met at @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social for a Q&A before a sold out IMAX screening. Thanks Gale for sharing your memories and to the brilliant FW team for making it all run so smoothly!

🎬 Can Italian animation go global? Studio Croma’s Playing God is heading to #Tribeca2025 We spoke with the creators—listen in! 👇 Apple tinyurl.com/3fmrzdyb Spotify tinyurl.com/7xpufcsw Podbean tinyurl.com/kf5e7d5t YouTube tinyurl.com/5fyu5sj9 #StopMotion #supportindiefilm #AnimationPodcast

Next on the list @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social is probably the only sea creature movie in which I 100% sympathise with the creature - Richard Harris' whale hunter is the real villain here. #jawsploitation #supportindiefilm

This film has a special memory for me as the day it came out I had to review it for my local radio station. I explain it better here .... sort of www.instagram.com/reel/DKUfY2U... @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social @galeannehurd.bsky.social

2nd say (for me) of @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social off to a fanastic start with this #coffee that is truly a work.of art

Sitting in @wshed.bsky.social enjoying delicious nachos whilst contemplate heading home or staying to watch blood tide as am still a bit wiped.

Thank you @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social for taking me back 44 years - the last time I saw this in the big screen. I was 10 again & was reminded why this film made such an impact on me.

Well the lergy didn't beat me. One train hop and a scooter ride and I made it. @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social

Um ... not sure how I feel about AI's response to my jokey close. Either I'm a threat in which case I'll die horribly or it intends to make me its slave. BTW I will be posting a blog & vlog piece about my limited but help use of AI - SPOILER ALERT I never use it for long form content.

As long as I can keep this cold at bay...so far so good.

This is an informative look at the much underrated Vincent Klyn of #cyborg and #pointbreak. Always wondered what happened to him & why he wasn't a bigger star. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnu2...

a handful of tickets still available

🎬 “Copy that captured the spirit.” Grateful for this testimonial from the Fighting Spirit Film Festival 🙌 Helping creative brands find their voice through words that resonate. #Copywriting #FilmFestival #ClientFeedback #Storytelling #FreelanceWriter youtu.be/qF11w2Um-KU?...

Can't believe am missing this tonight because somebody shared their cold with me. Inconsiderate bar stewards - hope @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social is off to a great start. Fingers 🤞will be there at the weekend.

Last night's whisky & coke left me with a head so sore needed coffee strong enough to wake an elephant. And am up....

Enjoying a well earned whisky & coke, whilat cooking risotto and listening to Hall & Oates. Not sure why am in the mood for yact rock but it's all hitting the spot.

ONE FROM MY ARCHIVES! I met Rob Hill author of the Bad Movie Bible at a #comiccon event in 2017 we sat down for a chat & this was the result. At @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social this weekend Rob will be introducing a gem of Jawsploitation - Orca! Killer Whale starring Richard Harris. tinyurl.com/rc9hku2v

I always enjoy chatting with David about his projects. His immense knowledge of the genre along with his passion for what has brutally been branded the red headed step child of cinema - thanks to director Tom Holland for that one. Anyway head over to @thecinebijou.bsky.social & enjoy.

NOW WATCHING! Billy Zane's charms makes this film as does James Remar, and Treat Willliams whose villain is so camp youbthink he's about to bust into song.

Resharing this post as I still can't believe someone suggested following people to help develop characters for a story. TIP! Don't, I mean really, don't!. #writingtips #writingcommunity ramon-writes.co.uk/worst-writin...

Looking forward to @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social next week. Full pass in the bag so I'll be there for much of the weekend. I will also be doing some coverage for @thecinebijou.bsky.social - Especially excited about the screening of Battle Beyond The Stars. I shall be arriving in style

I recently watched Final Destination: Bloodlines. Not only was it a refreshing take on the franchise with some gnarly kills but it was a fitting swan song for the late Tony Todd. I was genuinely choked up as he made his final exit. RIP @davidweiner.bsky.social tribute hits the mark.

Trying to work but our oldest animal Luna has other ideas #writing #catlove
