A mini wrap party in Cardiff for my wonderful Welsh crew including @chris.kiley @rhodmos with the wonderful cinematographer @charlottebruuschristensen @panaluxworld . Please forgive for the many great people I could not tag but please pass on my thanks and respect to them. I will never forget their help and kindness during the production of H IS FOR HAWK. Thanks everyone for all your help, good humour and kindness. It would be my privilege and pleasure to work with you all again.

A mini wrap party with a few of my wonderful crew from The Thursday Murder Club. Many thanks to one and all for such support. Also @mbseuk and their wonderful 18K Vulcan remote fixture, and wonderful support technical support. @nanlux_risa we used the 2400B and 900C fixtures to great effect, such powerful versatile fixtures. More later…..@the_real_terry_robb @galo77 @chantalelaynerichardson @julianbucknall #thethursdaymurderclub @cameronaffleck5855 @_perkins_

Starting a new film with this old notebook. The sticker for @markmilsomefoundation on the cover of this notebook brings back memories of working with this lovely man. He has left a great legacy for the film industry.

What a fantastic time I had with the students and staff @europeanfilmcollege_official in Denmark last weekend. @charlottebruuschristensen and I had two fantastic Q and A sessions focussing on collaboration in film making. Thank you all for your warm hospitality not to mention the great party. Thanks too to @fabianwagnerdop for getting us to the airport with minutes to spare! The whole weekend was a great experience and one I won’t forget. What a beautiful environment it is to be getting a foundation in the art of film making.
