And then Ant & Dec nailed Jamie to a cross.

Amazing week with amazing people at the amazing Sarah Granville's Inside The Writer's Room workshop (supported by the ITV DEI team and the BFI Inclusion team). Gaining first hand experience of what a writer's room is like and getting advice from industry panel guests. But most importantly gaining more writer comrades in this chaotic and sporadic rollercoaster artform we decided we can't avoid because we're all insane. Onto our Monday pitch 👀

Eons ago, on the precipice of a new world. Donald Trump is gone. The end to the Conservative stranglehold of our country was in sight. Peace talks were held in Ukraine. Genocides were trending downwards. And we decided to bash out a lil' comedy short for £100. Quick and easy, no fuss. 3 years and 4 sound editors later, the world is quite different and the short is complete. Check it out on younstubes via the bio.

Every year I recap all the creative stuff I've done. Mainly to quantify or at least appreciate the small steps, as a lot end up as pdfs in a folder so I forget I did 'em. But also as an experiment of mapping overall progression. This year featured a lot of my face on camera, so I apologise in advance of their release. I do not however apologise for all the images being different dimensions as Instagram's crop settings are irritating and I can't be arsed to fix it and I'm too lazy for this . So you will see my animated forehead and you will fucking like it. Back to deleting this app. Link in me profile.

Happy no more Tories day. To celebrate, I'm finally putting something I directed into the world. No it's not that one. No it's not that one either. And it's certainly not that one, don't be stupid. Whilst being impatiently in post-production for three bigger shorts, I decided along with two filmmaker friends to smash a lil semi-experimental micro short out. Done in a day with whatever we could find for free. Then I played around in post to teach myself some new tricks. And hopefully there will be 2-3 more coming soon with help from the 3 talented folks below. Check it out on YouTube now via the profile link innit. ⭐: @ciciglo 📹: @vman.8 🎼: Ethan Glabus #film #shortfilm #crime #horror #crimefilm #horrorfilm #whateverthefuckfilm #hats #darkness #ketchup #whereskony

Huge, massive, titan announcement. For the last four and a bit years, three writers have regularly met up to read, destroy, rebuild, destroy again, and ultimately help perfect each other's scripts. Now that all of our scripts are perfect, we have gained enough experience to level up our writer's group into a full blown writer collective named CHASED BY GIANTS™®© (patentpending). To show off how much we love ripping apart each other's work, we created a beautiful, astonishing new website: chasedbygiants.com. Here you'll get to know the one or two or three of us that you don't already. Some info on what we're upto. Plus, links to the important sites where we already share the important information that is important. Wow, I'm such a fucking good writer. We hope to evolve even further, maybe one of you will give us fire stone. Maybe you'll give us hard cash to buy an office. Maybe you stopped reading already. Who. Knows. But the point is, we aim to keep pushing each other and will keep expanding the site as we do. So bookmark it, set it as your homepage and share it with your richest friends. #chasedbygiants #film #tv #plays #screenwriting #directing #filmwriter #tvwriter #playwriter #comicwriter #novellawriter #othertypesofwriter

Directing with friends #1 📸 @kristinasalgvik

Next Tuesday, May 2nd, we open our crowd funding Kickstarter campaign for the short film @cuetocuefilm A psychological horror, written and directed by me. Those of you that know me know that there are things that you should know about me if you know. So I hope that explains how much it'd mean to me if you'd follow our campaign pages and share as much as you can! We have a great team involved, including the amazing Lisa Spencer as our lead actor. And you'll get to know all of them along the way. We also have a lot of fun/weird stuff planned for our social pages whilst we run our campaign and through the journey of making the film. So please please climb down the rabbit hole through the link int bio. #film #shortfilm #kickstarter #kickstartercampaign #horror #dontmakeajokedontmakeajoke #thriller #eerie #myface #isfeatured
