Fantastic to have Gone Fishing Short Film as part of @KINOFILM 20 Manchester European Short Film Festival.. Film Festivals that actively support independent films and filmmakers are out there, but harder to find.. This is definitely one of them.. #MancMade #Manchester

Look what I learned on Duolingo in 2024! #Duolingo365

Lovely words about #GoneFishing Film from our friends @Tackling_Minds Thank you x "Gone Fishing is a powerful, raw, and moving short film that tackles the critical issues of men's mental health and the often taboo subject of suicidal thoughts. It’s set against the peaceful backdrop of a fishing trip, yet the conversations that unfold are anything but tranquil. The film follows two men who, through the calming rhythm of casting and waiting, find themselves opening up in ways that wouldn’t likely happen in a typical setting. The film beautifully shows how the simplicity of shared moments on the water can create a safe space for men to explore and express their emotions. By breaking down the barriers to these difficult conversations, Gone Fishing highlights the importance of connection, reminding us that sometimes, a quiet day with a friend can make all the difference. A hard hitting reminder of the power of open dialogue and camaraderie, this short film leaves a lasting impact, showing just how vital it is to have connections, to reach out, and, most importantly, to talk." David Lyons, Director at Tackling Minds..

Great to see Gone Fishing chosen as a monthly pick at The Rome Independent Film Awards #PRISMA, putting us in with a chance to be chosen as a Finalist next month.. Rome Prisma Film Awards is the #1 most reviewed film festival in Europe among the nearly 3000 currently running on FilmFreeway. @c_deakin1992 @CJHatherall #KrisHitchen @MancMade #GoFishing #MancMade #Manchester

Three absolute powerhouses on the set of Gone Fishing Film.. Jenni Suitiala, a brilliant DOP who framed shots I couldn't imagine when writing it.. Marina Selega, Focus Puller who literally brought focus to the story.. A top team, working brilliantly together.. ..and Becky Casey, who as 1st AD brought an organisation to the whole day that stopped me getting battered by cast and crew and definitely made everything run so much smoother.. Fantastic support to our Director @c_deakin1992 Everyone of these women working above and beyond to help bring this story about mens mental health together.. Thank you x #WomenInFilm #MancMade #Manchester

Great day filming Gone Fishing Short Film with a fantastic crew and top cast.. Everyone working their arses off to make this the best is can possibly be.. @c_deakin1992 @CJHatherall #KrisHitchen

So much toxicity around.. So it is really heart-warming & appreciated to be getting amazing support on Gone Fishing from cast, crew & suppliers.. This is a paid project, but budget is tight.. There are good people out there, take time to find them.. #MancMade #Manchester

Fantastic to confirm filming date today for our #GoneFishingFilm starring the brilliant Kris Hitchin and @CJHatherall (both absolutely class in ITVX's The Long Shadow) Directed @c_deakin1992 with the equally ace Jenni Suitiala as our DOP, Written & Produced by Paul Ludden.. Gone Fishing Men of a certain age will generally talk about anything rather than about their mental health. Ben and Pete are no different.. Two middle-aged mates on their first fishing trip without their friend Marko, whose recent, totally unexpected death was a huge shock to them both. Even the crazy stories, dark humour and piss-taking can’t stop them opening up in a way they never expected. #MancMade #Manchester @mancmade

We have been really overwhelmed by the feedback our audiences from the @theLBT have given DE, it’s a tough time in theatre and it really makes a difference to hear such amazing feedback We have 2 SHOWS LEFT and can’t wait to share with @hulltruck 23/5 and @The_Lowry 24/5 ❤️💀🤖

We yearn for one last touch, kiss. Root & Branch's Danny Echo explores that possibility (or impossibility). The play got grief right. Excellent acting too, especially @c_deakin1992 thewidowshandbook.com/home/danny-echo Tx to @root_branchprod & @theLBT for supporting @WidowedAndYoung #widow

@actormichaela Thank youuuu!

@c_deakin1992 have a brilliant opening night with Danny Echo x

@c_deakin1992 is the best robot I know

It looks like Danny. It talks like Danny. It feels like Danny. But Danny is dead. DANNY ECHO is back! This story of love, death and robots is at the @theLBT 16-18 May, @HullTruck 23 May and @The_Lowry 24 May. Tickets available here: rootandbranchprod.co.uk/tickets ❤️💀🤖

The exceptional @c_deakin1992 as Danny 🤖

I am so excited - im really proud of this show and I can’t wait to do it all over again!
