Some recent festival highlights :)

Name a film, preferably newish, that, while widely considered great, has you itching to get on your soapbox and shouting "DO YOU ALL REALIZE HOW GREAT THIS IS? WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS IS. ALL. THE. TIME." Yes, I just rewatched Phantom Thread.

@charliek Hi Charlie, Silvia Felce (producer of Christiana Ebohon-Green’s short Francesca) and I tried to contact you about a short film, but the email we had for you (satprivateoffice) bounced back. Is there a way to get in touch? Best wishes, Sam

@RafaellaMarcus My advice - go to New York for a week. When I had a play on at Trafalgar Studios I couldn’t get a meeting with any UK theatres for neither love nor money, but all the NYC new writing theatres met me merely off the back of a cold email (didn’t even have to go through my agent).

since I wrote a play that I think I can truthfully describe as successful I have had (from August 2022): 61 meetings with television and film production companies, including follow ups 2 meetings with theatres

On 28th Oct 1998 @TheFrankOzJam performed @MissPiggy at the @PrincesTrust Comedy Gala. I waited in the freezing cold to meet him. He was kind, self-deprecating and gave his time generously despite the arctic temperatures. This photo always makes me smile. 😊 #muppets #muppetfan

@JamesCWarne There is an actual Basic Instinct 2. It was shit.

Basic Instinct 2 looks a bit shit

Proud voice over moment! I recorded this week’s @guardian podcast on Germany’s green politician Robert Habeck… #voiceover #voiceoverartist theguardian.com/news/audio/202…

@PhoenixBlackNow @IvonneSpinoza They can be blunt, but I expect the positives to be as specific as the negatives (examples etc). If it’s just “It’s great, but…” the great means nothing.

How do you like to receive script feedback? In line notes, answers to questions, other? Blunt or sugar-coated? #screenwriting

Best friendship movie ever? I’ll start:

Which movie did you want the villain to win?

@letterboxd Is there no way of finding my friends from other social networks or from my phone contacts in the app at all now?

You Hurt My Feelings at #SundanceLondon was so engaging without having very high stakes. #Screenwriters are always pushed to raise them, but by not bowing to that pressure this somehow felt more funny, authentic and satisfying. @CentralPictureH @sundanceorg @a24 @OfficialJLD

@MarkRavenhill2 Cate Blanchett

Who is the actor you would go to see in a play without knowing much else other than that they were in it? Thinking about who today is a ‘box office’ draw … comment below. Many thanks.

@cakeblanchett_ Did you listen to the Script Apart podcast interview with Todd? That’s the closest I heard to a Tár audio commentary.

@Screendaily What a scam. THEY chose these projects from 1000s of submissions. Wasted filmmakers’ time with false hope of a fake prize. Now they pay them off w/ a shitty excuse about names & IP, as if that’s a new development. The whole point was to give an opportunity to something original.

Exclusive: None of the six projects Netflix selected through its Breakout scheme with Creative UK will now be greenlit for production. Netflix will give £100,000 development awards to three of the six films. Details: bit.ly/43TjtHe

@Pret What’s happened to the Coronation Chicken Bloomer? Was my new favourite. Just released and already gone? 😢

@cakeblanchett_ Do any clips exist from the performance?

@MyAngelFlung @filmval_ @bestoftar2022

@Ben_Aaronovitch Biased, but Tobi! 😊

Ok for the next German book - who should be the POV character A) Tobias Winter B) Vanessa Sommer ?
