So, I have some news... 😬

@lithobreaker_ @FilmUpdates Well this is a pretty accurate description

@FilmUpdates so god's own country meets all of us strangers? i'm sat

First look at Tom Brittney’s directorial debut short ‘JOE’ starring Ruaridh Mollica. An adaptation of Jon Ransom’s novel ‘The Whale Tattoo,’ it follows Joe who returns to the small Norfolk fishing town where he is haunted by the ghost of a lost love.

@tahalovesmovies @FilmUpdates It’s only the Short film. The feature version will definitely be keeping the books title.

@FilmUpdates should’ve kept the old title. idk y when books r adapted to film they get a shorter less interesting title see: the price of salt -> carol, in moonlight black boys look blue -> moonlight

@MarkOosterveen Looking good buddy. Hope you had fun x

Tonight, a film some lovely friends and I made for no money because we were bored and depressed in lockdown, is having its UK premiere at the London Film Festival in the West End. I’m quite nervous about it, but will never get to type that sentence again, so may as well enjoy it

Ruaridh Mollica to star in Tom Brittney’s directorial debut ‘JOE.’ An adaptation of Jon Ransom’s novel ‘The Whale Tattoo,’ it follows Joe who returns to the small Norfolk fishing town where he grew up to confront the past. Haunted by death, trauma and unfulfilled love, he soon learns the disturbing truth about the river running alongside the house his estranged father still lives in.

Go go go! Would love to meet you on Tuesday!

It’s hilarious how Apple keeps curating these auteur-driven critically acclaimed projects with with some of the greatest actors we have and NO ONE is watching, meanwhile Netflix are reporting record viewership for season 7 of the worst slop you’ve ever seen

Wait this is so crazy. A show was given more than two seasons and it... built an audience over time and is now successful?? That's wild.

No, but seriously… we REALLY need to talk about the inequality within our industry. $85m on THREE PEOPLE is eye wateringly tone deaf!!! Meanwhile day player rates are in the toilet and I’m being asked to write whole episodes for free before people will even commit to an option.

@jacobherbstman lol. How’s it working out with your great annual holiday leave, maternity leave, private health costs and… well the list goes on. Life is more than GDP, maybe you’ll have leaders one day who let you learn that.

I’ve been in Europe one week and their gdp per capita being half of the US immediately makes sense

Seeing Robert Downey Jr’s rumoured paycheck details for returning to the MCU and wondering when we’re going to discuss the crazy inequality of fees in our industry… Day players struggling to survive, and in the US not making their SAG insurance minimums, as meanwhile…

@MarkOosterveen So happy the greens got 4 seats. I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Labour but at least the Tories are out. 😮‍💨

THE GOOD Blue Tories out Corbyn won 4 new Green MPs THE BAD Red Tories in Luke Akehurst won IDS keeps his seat (Faiza would have won easily) AND THE UGLY More of an anti-Tory vote than a pro-Labour one Countless horrible new briefcase ghoul MPs Nigel Farage is now in Parliament

@Sonic_Screwup Same. So sad.
