Nice to share some positive news for a change in light of recent global events.

By all accounts a kind man who saved lives, murdered by thugs who take them...
Happy Burns Night, a'body... 🏴🏴🏴
We need this type of solid leadership in the U.K. No more grovelling state visit invitations. It's time to stand up to Trump and be counted.

As the world turns to crap thanks to an insane old bigot in The White House, to cheer you up here's a picture of a smiling potato just before I baked it...
Is mainland Europe and the U.K. at long last finally learning from the mistakes of WWII by realising they cannot ever appease or negotiate with a madman? 🤔
Following my post a couple of days ago, I’m very happy to share that our short film “Welcome to Salem” went on to win the Silver Award for ‘Best Thriller’ at the New York Movie Awards.
Once again, my heart felt thanks to all our friends and family for their continuing support and encouragement.
Fascism. Simple as that. Never in my wildest dreams did I think the U.S. could become like it is now.
Double nice start for 2026!
Our latest short film “Welcome to Salem” has been officially selected for consideration at the New York Movie Awards (probably our last U.S. submission for some time) as well as being a Finalist in the Best Horror Film category at the Art Film Awards.
So much for "The Peacetime President". One could be forgiven for thinking this has something to do with Venezuela holding the world's largest proven oil reserves, but I'm sure that would just be a silly rumour.
Happy New Year and all the very best for 2026 to all my friends and family!! Here's hoping for a more peaceful, understanding and equitable world in the future 🌎🌍🌏

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele 😢😢 He directed some exceptional films, including This Is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally (my personal favourite), Misery, A Few Good Men and The Bucket List. May they both rest in peace ♥️♥️
What a guy! Happy 100th Birthday, Dick Van Dyke. Keep smiling... ☺️

Great night out attending the Scottish Mental Health Film Awards at the Social Hub in Glasgow (strictly as an audience member) Some really inspiring work from across the globe. And such a rousing speech at the end from actor and humanitarian David Hayman. Thanks to Den Glickson for the invitation ☺️

Rest in Peace, Prunella Scales. Such a wonderful talent (her portrayal of "Sybil" in Fawlty Towers is a masterclass in comedic acting) I remember seeing her and the late Timothy West in the reception of The Citizens Theatre a few years back. They looked so happy together. Reunited once again...
This was just wonderful. Brought both a laugh and a wee tear to the eye in equal measures. A few familiar faces in there too. Check it out when you can...
As is my way, I'm once again late to the party. But man was it worth the wait. Believe the hype: it's a goddam masterpiece. And it could not be more timely. Di Caprio is excellent, but Sean Penn's performance is just off the scale...
