THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG has my vote tonight.
Mohammad Rasoulof’s urgent film is a staggering act of resistance—smuggled out of Iran after his sentencing and now standing as a testament to the cost of speaking truth to power.
It’s also an incredibly gripping thriller.

Mixing it up with cocktails at the Curzon Soho this time to celebrate the 3rd contract this month …This one took a YEAR to negotiate …THANK YOU to all involved for keeping the faith. Returnable legal drama with the dream team at an incredible company who've backed my work for longer than any other.

Any excuse for champagne tbh but very nice to sign another contract as Christmas approaches. This one is a returnable crime drama with a bit of a twist, and it’s with a fabulous company I’ve been wanting to work with for a while. Gives me hope for our industry as 2025 approaches ….

This is one hell of a show. Devastating portrayal of female rage from Robyn Malcolm. Flawless writing by Dianne Taylor and others. Superb direction by Peter Salmon. Congrats all round 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Honoured to be entrusted with a truly stonking true story for a feature film with Mono Films' Lorraine Bhattachary & Shakyra Dowling, to be directed by Suri Krishnamma. Here’s us kicking off the project with some bubbly at the BFI, at a 225 Film Club screening of their latest short, RETURNED

Sun flag looking like it's giving a boat captain a back rub.

Captain: I'm really nervous about giving this speech.
Sun, rubbing his shoulders: Don't worry, big guy. You got this.

Why have I never done this 🤦‍♀️

I’m so glad Andrew Tate was denied a voice here. Why should we be confronted with his aggressive misogyny and homophobia? Why should he get to spew his hatred anywhere? Of course we can reject him and all he stands for. It needs to be our response more often.
Thank you 🦋

"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?
