Pinch me I must be DREAMING. Eyelash - Nominated for British Short Film BAFTA Award 2021. Where do I start? Honestly the things that dreams are made of. When I set out to make this short film I was in a lost, frustrated and slightly negative space regarding work and my ‘career’. Sometimes trying to pursue something like filmmaking can be super draining and get you down when you just can’t see yourself making any steps forward. The INCREDIBLE people around me, friends, family, coworkers all the same rallied around this project and gave their precious time to set out on a freezing cold weekend and make this short with no money and a hell of a lot of favours. If theres anything to be said in this post its that if you’re reading this and you’re stuck in a rut, keep going and go and make things you care about and make them with your FRIENDS. They will carry you further than you ever could dream of. So so so much thanks and so so so much love @bafta . 🎬🖤 Shouts out to the INCREDIBLE artists and fellow nominees, all of these films are just magnificent. 🖤 #bafta #eebaftas

Still hasn’t sunk in that I won the BEST NEW DIRECTOR award at the @britisharrows @theyoungarrows last night at BFI Southbank 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 What a ride! What a night! Big up my main geezer @regyates for hosting a killer show last night ✨🍾🥂 Honestly can’t express how grateful / emotional it feels to win this one, want to give a MASSIVE shoutout to anyone and everyone I’ve had the pleasure of working with the last few years. Particularly the @rnib family @theandpartnership @youarehereuk This film meant a lot to us and Adam, Ted and Toby took a chance on me to direct this project when they didn’t have to. Congrats to all the other nominees and winners, felt honoured to just be in the same room as you lot. Love you all… my head hurts ouchy🍾 xxx

Blown away by the turn out and reception to our new short film ‘Pour Me’ at our special preview screening last week at the iconic @everymancinema SOTG. Thank you to everyone that came and to all the cast and crew that made this film happen @blinkprods @corin_t @ashleynhorney It was a special moment to see the work on the big screen with an over capacity audience! Big love to legend @jackhoward for hosting the Q&A. Move over Marty Supreme merch - BEER MATS SOLD OUT! @shaunthomas97 - the man that you are! ❤️

Dry Jan going well? Pour Me | 2026 Soon…🖤 @shaunthomas97 @blinkstagrammer @corin_t @ashleynhorney

Hey close friends and family!!! 🍻🍻🍻✨ WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! ❤️ Big news! We’re making a short film called POUR ME—a bruising, beautiful little story about drinking culture, starring the INCREDIBLE Shaun Thomas (How to Have Sex), produced by the brilliant team at Blink Productions. We’re so close to being fully funded—but without this final Kickstarter push, the film won’t get made! Every pledge or even just sharing this link means the world to us, and our talented team would be incredibly grateful. Plus, there are some fun prizes and opportunities to get directly involved! (Yes I nearly died of cringe trying to film this video for those that know how I feel about being in front of the camera apposed to behind it! But the film is so nearly over the line I had to! My hands were tied im sorry!!)

CALLING ALL FLOOF LOVERS! 🐈💙 It was an absolute honour to be asked to direct the latest campaign TVC ‘Legacy’ for @battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Capturing the lifelong bond between pet and it’s owner whilst highlighting the option to leave a legacy gift in your will to support the cherished charity’s vital work. I’ve been a pet owner and lover since day so this one has a special place in my heart. 💙 We had A LOT OF FUN of this one, it truly was a joy to spend our days shooting these wonderful little floofs. MVP has to go to ‘Wotsit’ (yep) who stars as ‘Little Leo’ in the film. Fights were had over taking him home after wrap. 🐈🍊 Big thank you to @idamayyy for leading this with such tenderness. Huge lost to all the other animals involved it really was a joy to go this wholesome (for once).
