A surreal night spent with loved ones, champions and new mates. I’ve had a massive show of support since this one went live. Loads of messages and well wishing and all that. So gonna take a beat to say thank you if you’ve ever helped me out with anything - inside or outside the industry. Much love. Thanks again to @screendaily for their open arms and the free bar. šŸ“ø: Theodore Wood Photography / Screen International #theodorewoodphotography

It’s official then. They actually printed it. Honoured to be a @screendaily Star of Tomorrow ā€˜23. Amazing company and a huge legacy. Link to the article in my bio where you can read such inspired musings as - ā€œI’m never going to write a film about a fleeting romance between a sculptor and bassoonist.ā€ Thank you to @screendaily , Fionnuala Halligan, Nicolas Barber and @peter_searle .

So I did a podcast. Here’s me rambling about the kineticism of ā€˜Don’t Look Now’ and sparring with the lovely Zodwa Nyoni about cinema’s best opening scenes. Full disclosure - we’re both wrong. It’s Trainspotting. Thanks to @greigarjohnson , @filmhubnorth and @bfinetwork for having me. LINK IN BIO. More infošŸ‘‡ ā€œDirectors Disagree is our new podcast: a conversational battle of wits where two directors go head-to-head in the court of cinema. Each month, a pair of filmmakers from the Film Hub North family debate an aspect of filmmaking and pick their all-time favourite examples from cinema history - all in an attempt to convince our host and judge Greig Johnson. First up, playwright, screenwriter and director Zodwa Nyoni (Mahogany, Notes on Being a Lady) and writer-director Jack Benjamin Gill (Doggerland, Lambing Season) make their cases for cinema’s best opening scene. Will it be The Usual Suspects or Don't Look Now? Listen now to find out. Court is in session. All rise!ā€

#FilmOfTheWeek: 🟠 Watch ā€˜Doggerland’ in the #linkinbio Doggerland tells the story of Musa Nasir, an illegal immigrant living and working at a road-side car wash, as he takes on an underground driving job in a bid to gain his freedom from his criminal employers. The film takes a tense and uncompromising look at Britain’s modern slavery crisis and was made with support from the Modern Slavery Helpline.
