With Screen Skills releasing a report today,it’s important people are aware of what the government Culture,Media and Sport Committee had to say about the organisation (screen grabs attached from their report) Post Production has been repeatedly been failed by them, this report changes none of that
On the lookout for creature VO artists for an upcoming project — big, troll-like stuff. If you can growl, snarl or grunt with character, drop me a message.

Off to London today for a special screening of #Safe tonight with the 3 other winning films from @16days16films.bsky.social with #UNWomen. Each of these powerful films tackles #genderbasedviolence. Safe won the audience award in the festival. Proud to be in this line up.

Lovely to see Sky TV promoting casual sexism in the sound field. Shock horror, not all soundies are men!! Went through the effort of not gender stereotyping the question, but the answer? Nah

The Brutalist director Brady Corbet says he has made ‘zero dollars’ from the film
“I’ve spoken to many film-makers that have the films that are nominated this year that can’t pay their rent. I mean, that’s a real thing.”

sticking your head above the parapet to speak up about DEI and unacceptable behaviour in an industry run on fear, can make it a very isolating experience, and it really shouldn’t be that way #postproduction
So talented my friend, they are incredible

Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease.

PSA for any organisations speaking up about the lack of diversity across upcoming awards. Don’t forget about sound (which has shocking stats by the way) you know that little thing that without it you can’t hear the story of the film or show you’re watching….thank you!
if i remember correctly, one of the requirements was to provide bank statements and i really hope that’s out the window. it felt unnecessarily invasive if you weren’t an organisation
Are they still planning to do more rounds?
This week's episode of The Rest Is Entertainment referenced my article for @theankler.bsky.social on "blue-cheap" TV, and how producers are making shows look good on screen while juggling ever-tightening budgets. Listen here! And be sure to read the whole article: theankler.com/p/blue-cheap...

Hang on, is this the strangest one so far or is there better?!
