🔊 NEXT WEDNESDAY 🔊 May’s Soho Social takes place next Wednesday at The George in Soho!! Come down, have a drink, meet the best of the best!

Rule Britannia will be playing the BAFTA and Oscar qualifying @odensefilmfestival this August in Denmark. Thanks as always to our truly special team of collaborators and to the jury

Soho Social is your new monthly industry local — no guest list, no agenda, no pressure. Just GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD CONVERSATION, and a standing invite to show up and connect.   It kicks off with a community-funded bar tab (so get in early), then let the night do its thing.   6:00 PM on the 20th May at The George on D’arblay St - See you there!

Our little film Make Yourself at Home continues its journey on the silver screen, this time at the legendary LOCO London Comedy Film Festival. All the years of watching our favourite films play at our favourite local cinema - @ritzy_cinema in Brixton, and now we get to squirm in our seats watching ours, praying people laugh at all the right bits. In fact, laugh whenever and we’ll be happy. Massive thanks to everyone who helped bring this chaotic, awkward, unhinged, house hunting, cinematic world to life. See you there 🏠

@rulebritanniafilm x @maxyfisher Collected the big one at Unrestricted View Film Festival The Si Spencer Award @uviewff Special thanks to the jury and our incredible team

Soho Social kicked off yesterday afternoon at The George pub ☀️🍻 The concept is simple: four sponsors (including David Reviews) put money behind the bar so everyone can grab a drink on us. Sunshine, a brilliant turnout, and the perfect spot for both catch-ups and new introductions 🤝✨ This is now a monthly thing — so if you missed this one, make sure you’re at the next 🍻✨ 6pm, Wednesday 27th May @ The Royal George, D’Arblay Street — see you there!

🍺 TOMORROW 🍺 SoHo Social at The George at 6pm! In collaboration with: @blackkitestudios @mamamia.talent @mrdavidreviews SEE YOU THERE 🥂

Our wonderful Animation & VFX and Colour Grading Gold Juries joined us on Friday for our in-person judging session. As always, the focus was on celebrating the very best creative in this category and there were brilliant examples of creativity that made it through to this stage in the judging process. A huge thank you to our incredible Gold judges, who brought passion, insight, and thoughtful discussion to every piece of work. Their dedication in selecting the ideas that truly deserve to be celebrated makes all the difference. And massive thanks to the Electric Theatre Collective and for hosting us. Looking forward to seeing the winners pick up their awards this July in Margate at our awards show at the close of the UK Creative Festival. If you want to find out which works they selected, then don’t forget to get your ticket to the awards ASAP. Find out more and book tickets at our website 🔗 in bio.
