If you know me you’ll know I’m married… so hands off! We tied the knot in St Brelades, Jersey where Francesca grew up, on the hottest day of last year. And it’s easy to say it was the best day of my life, all thanks to the beautiful people who journeyed out to share it with us. A huge thanks to @_jrsp and @jessecalston for capturing the day.

Last night marked the cast/crew and friends/family screening of our BFI NETWORK short ‘The Easy Way Out’. Thanks so much to everyone who came out to support the project. We had so many great conversations about it on the night, which is what the film is all about, so it really meant the world. This is only the beginning for the film and we look forward to sharing more festival / screening news soon.

What the fook just happened?! Finished up The Nun Slayer tour with a bang, moved house three times, bought our first gaff, got walloped by a teenager in the golden ring, got walloped by the floor on my stag, got hitched to the love of me life, honeymooned with some big kitties, adopted a furry bloke, started writing The Traitors game and shot a very jolly film with some outstanding talent! 2025 has been a beautiful fever dream. Thanks to everyone who has made it so incredible. Onto the next X

I don’t often talk about the ol’ day job but this news is a doozy. Thrilled to be adapting ‘The Traitors’ into an interactive narrative game! I’ve been a fan of the show pretty much since the start and to be working with All3 Media and the team at Fusebox on this is a real treat. I did actually apply to be on the show, but I guess this will do 😉 🗡️⚰️🗝️💰⏱️🏰

Meet our next featured director: @benbovkey  🎥🔪 In his short film The Nun Slayer, when Ophelia picks up her husband Donald after 30 years behind bars, she’s stunned to discover he isn’t the infamous nun-slayer she believed him to be. @christieefewry  sat down with Ben to talk awkwardness in British comedy, the lengths we’ll go through for love, and his next BFI-funded short, @theeasywayoutfilm (stay tuned!)
