James Oldham

It's been a while since I made a new reel, so I thought it was high time now that strikes were over that I release one (X won't let me post the whole thing, but here's a snippet Big thank you as always to the hundreds of crew members I've had the pleasure of working with.

@BlackpoolWASPTD @GinaLyons Mark is great. Gina is great. Good combo!

Mark Newsome’s pilot Damien is being produced the brilliant @GinaLyons of Gobby Girl Productions.

@ChloeAHunt_ Industry run by the privileged who have no idea of the struggles of the ordinary working class person. Lack of understanding and lack of willingness to accept fundamental change!

How are working class actors meant to survive in this bloody industry with NO opportunities?! So many conversations, no real change.

In the last two days I've had two rejections from film festivals I really wanted to get into, the most lovely acting reaction I think I've ever had, my bank balance wondering how the hell I'm going to pay next month's rent if something doesn't change and this 👇

The latest film from South Bristol film-maker @holbrook99 is causing a stir on both sides of the Atlantic and its Bristol premiere is at the @wshed this weekend... Full story here: bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/whats…

@WriterHBlack I know there will be plenty of amazing creatives there, but those white walls look so sad! 😭

AN EMBARRASSMENT. #soullessandgross @Lionsgate @THR

@screenfluent It is important to show gratitude for what you already have when you feel like this. Defining what you're grateful for will ameliorate some of the negative thoughts. It's very normal to feel like you do right now.

I'm 43 and I have no friends. It's not that I chose not to have friends. I tried to fit in, but somehow I was always the one standing out. And I really didn't have friends for real, just people who knew me and I knew them and we were in contact because of where we lived, school or work. It's not like I didn't want friends. I do want friends. I would love to have friends with somewhat the same interests as me to bond with but there aren't any. No one tries to contact me unexpectedly, asking how I am doing, how I really feel or what's going on in my life for real. It's painful to admit, but it has been sitting in my head for a long time and I needed to speak it out.

Hollow, another banging short from @holbrook99, is online with @omeletocom: shorturl.at/tsCkQ

Thanks for the nomination @TheHBFilmFest!

@sketchbpictures @frontieresmrkt @British_Film @networkfhsw @BFI @JudeGoldrei @beccawolff27 @FantasiaFest @BristolFilmCity Congratulations you lovely lot!

Had an absolute blast in Montréal earlier in the summer @frontieresmrkt winning two awards pitching what we hope is our debut feature GINGER. Thanks @British_Film @networkfhsw @bfi for the support.

@TiceRichard The working class do not send their kids to private schools. This should be obvious.

SELFISH SOCIALISTS Labour’s VAT on children school fees means another school shuts – Head blames Labour for pricing out working class families Result: more children suffer worse outcomes telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/priv…

@NetflixUK So you are trying to target the working class, and you miss out the most disproportionately working class area in the country, the North West?

If you're 16-25 and living in the North East, West Midlands or London find out more about our workshops and industry opportunities here nyt.org.uk/get-tickets/20…

Did you know 89% of working-class parents don’t want their child to pursue a creative career because they don't consider it a viable path to success? IGNITE, a scheme we're running in partnership with @NYTofGB, is here to change that

I know this is really obvious, but @NetflixUK should have a Curated Top 40 chart section for Short Films on their platform where REAL talent can be discovered by audiences. Send a scout to every film festival in the UK and find GREAT SHORTS. Why aren't you doing this already?

@FrankCKeogh @GeneraFilms Thanks Frank!!

@GeneraFilms Has to be @jamoldham...Why? Just have a look at his graft 🎥,🔥 vimeo.com/jamoldham/narr…

We all have those DOPs that we love watching - whether it's the camera that they use, the lenses or the shots. Who is your favourite DOP and why?
