Read about the making of our multi award winning short film #Safe on @directorsnotes.bsky.social here. Safe tackles violence against women. It's a tense ten minutes starring Laura Bayston and James Nelson Joyce. directorsnotes.com/2025/01/15/d...

Great move. Ideally something called Drama Of The Week would run for more than three weeks at a time, so I hope it does well enough for that to happen. LA Productions used to make Moving On for the BBC, so are experienced in low-budget standalone plays. www.advanced-television.com/2025/02/24/c...

So bloody proud of my daughter. After going through a horrendously tough time in her life lately, she interviewed for a fantastic job today today and got it. She so needed this boost. Smashed it!

"#MikeLeigh’s first film in six years is one of his most poignant and arresting dramas. HARD TRUTHS is nothing less than immaculate in its construction and is bound to resonate deeply with British audiences in a post-Covid world." - James Learoyd reviews: https://buff.ly/4hS5wA5 #filmsky #cinema

The amount of messages I get from women who have watched #Safe & experienced similar situations is staggering. Safe (10 mins) tackles harassment & violence against women in public spaces. This needs to stop. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #EndVAW #EndVAWG www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbc4...

This article FINALLY says the quiet bit out loud. “This is the only workforce we have, and one on which we wholly depend. How could any industry survive - let alone thrive in the future - if it has allowed its essential skilled workforce to dissipate?” www.broadcastnow.co.uk/comment/we-c...
