And can you imagine what it's like for those of us who don't have the cachet of fame...those of us who trudge through the trenches of shorts...us 'little' women with big ideas banging our heads against walls as we try & try again...what's the definition of insanity again? Oh yeh, a female director.

Can't stress enough the importance of women being able to direct films that look as stylish as this and are violent (not advocating violence irl). Women can make anything awesome when given the opportunity ❤️ #thebride #maggiegyllenhaal www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJra...

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a movie with the aesthetic of Sucker Punch was directed by a woman instead of a man… imagine the power #armyofme

Four images taken from THE SIN-EATER short, directed by our very own @kellydirector.bsky.social. I'm working on the feature film version now ... the alt-text drops a couple of hints about what's a'going on. #Scriptsky #Filmsky #Horror

The Sin-Eater. It's only a short, but it's probably the most distilled and disciplined example of what I can achieve with a story. Plus it got made by @kellydirector.bsky.social and it's utterly beautiful. #Scriptsky

Funerary Wales: @kellydirector.bsky.social's unnerving period horror short THE SIN-EATER (2024) "marks a grieving, guilt-ridden new mother with her own anxiety-riddled alienation". Screens 8pm tonght at Omniplex, Sunderland for Sunderland Shorts Film Festival projectedfigures.com/2024/04/23/t...

Love how film festivals think white male directors with their white male stories are SO fucking diverse to the point they plaster it over their websites and actually boast about it.

Do you have days where you just want to drink a whisky and eat a whole pack of butter crackers dry and nothing else? Yeh….

This is the only film in a horror module I taught that actually freaked my students out...it's the sound 😏

This absolute BANGER will be played in between takes on my feature PAGAN...oh yes, be afraid...and follow the fabulous @2krispii www.instagram.com/reel/DBsByJ5...

The Sin-Eater has been selected for Beeston Film Festival - whoop! A local festival to me & BIFA qualifier BUT I can't believe it's my 1st time playing! I attended the awards last year to watch a friend pick up the Pride B'Oscar & the cinema & team were lovely so I'll be there in April supporting ❤️

THE SIN-EATER will be playing the awesome Meme Pas Peur festival all the way out in Reunion Island! We'll be playing on 21st Feb at 7pm. This is a new festival for me and I just wish I could attend & see the beautiful island ❤️ We hope the audience likes the film #filmsky

They really are going to force women to start killing men to protect ourselves and will be shocked and horrified by the fact that they thought they made us helpless, but instead they made us desperate and left us with nothing to lose.

Goddamn man he absolutely nailed it. It is entirely possible.

When 'Out There' starts on ITV this month ya'll need to watch it for Carly-Sophia Davies, coz I can tell from the trailer in one shot that she's going to be amazing...look at her!

Reasons to reject a short film: directed by a woman; it's in the Welsh language; it's about women's stuff like the grief of losing a child; has great performances & looks great; more women's stuff probably...can't wait to release our film online.

Our Fearless Frame Series at #NightTideMag highlights womxn horror filmmakers breaking new ground in the genre. Today the spotlight is on @kellydirector.bsky.social and her gorgeous grief horror, The Sin-Eater. nighttidemag.com/2024/12/12/f...

If anyone is interested in where 'sin-eating' comes from, this is a great thread about the subject that our film The Sin-Eater was based on! And yep, our awesome writer @treeandtroll.bsky.social based the ceremony on Richard Munslow ⚰️

The mood and intensity of @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social horror short SIN EATER is quite something. I was utterly gripped.

Brat summer is a distant memory, its battleaxe winter: season of boilers, dragons & fearsome maiden aunts. Get in girls, we’re wearing our most moth eaten fur coats & rocking up in a fug of Embassy & Yardley with a box of York Fruits & a bottle of Harvey’s Bristol Cream & shit’s about to get real

It's my birthday, so here's Salem on her 1st birthday earlier this year being a lazy monkey not chasing her pom poms 🥰🐈‍⬛

Happy Krampusnacht... also known as my birthday! 🎉 And I got 1k followers for my birthday - whoop! I will share a kitty video for my birthday... & also if you're not good, I'll come hit you with a stick & then eat you 👹

Thought it was about time I shared my showreel on here. I need to do a new edit soon to put new work in it as this was done back in 2019, but this reel has served me well: vimeo.com/341073229

Women in film/media! I’d love to hear more about what you do! I’m working on a starter pack of badass women in the entertainment industry. Creatives/academics/critics, etc. Come on over to the dark side and introduce yourself! My intro in comments 👇 #scriptsky #filmsky

Stunning video review of The Sin-Eater from Newton Webb: "it excels in atmosphere...a masterclass in concise storytelling blending originality with emotional depth" www.youtube.com/shorts/Pe6_B...

Ladies, it's time to stop actively pursuing men. Passively pursue them instead, by digging a large concealed pit outside your house and waiting for them to fall in

Really enjoyed Kelly Holmes' short THE SIN EATER at @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social. Simultaneously sad and creepy, which is day time horror fest gold #horror

Funerary Wales: @kellydirector.bsky.social's unnerving period short THE SIN-EATER (2024) "marks a grieving, guilt-ridden new mother with her own anxiety-riddled alienation". Screening on-line with BREATHING IN from 2.45pm today at @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social projectedfigures.com/2024/04/23/t...

Today is the day - The Sin-Eater plays @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social before the feature Breathing In at 2.45pm. You can watch from home with a smart TV/firestick/Roko etc. Tickets available through the website in the link ❤️

Sohome from @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social is back starting today and The Sin-Eater will be playing with South African feature Breathing In - you can check us out from home! ❤️

So disappointed in 'independent film networks/funds' who are STILL only highlighting the work of male directors for their funds and showcases....seriously? And you don't even notice? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

The Sin-Eater is playing as part of Sohome and we'll be playing with the awesome South African feature Breathing In 👻

I brushed my hair for the first time in over 5 days...

The church that made me a bit goth...I ran around this graveyard every day on the way to/from school. Haven't seen it in a long time & I'm not sure it's that special...but it was my adventure playground & storytelling machine 🪦🥹

See, I was right! It flippin' snowed! ✊

My mum's review of The Substance: "It was good…..but weird !!!!"... Yes. Correct.

I don't like this weather, it makes me spend money on heating

Everyone sharing their 4 favourite directors with zero women directors, inc A LOT of women posting....well done

Cinematography festival fucks around and finds out - also big up to Steve McQueen: variety.com/2024/film/ne...

Look at this little mush 🖤

If you want me to follow you & I haven't yet, I was probably hugging my cat (she loves a good hug from mama)...so just give me a poke ❤️🐈‍⬛

Always spooky season in my house 👻 even after ‘most’ of the Halloween decorations come down 👀

Male directors, can you do me a massive favour & stop employing your white male friends as your 2nd unit director? How about you employ a woman...shock, gasp, faint. We can do the work and want to...it's a thing. Cheers.

Have been ill & only just catching up on lots of followers…inc @scottderrickson.bsky.social who followed me & then unfollowed…thanks dude. Everyone else, I’ll get there 😘

Everyone on this site has a library card

To my fellow dude creatives: The war on women people said wasn’t happening is fucking happening out in the open. The culture war is raging, but WE ARE THE CULTURE. Follow women creatives. Promote women. Produce their work. Hire them for your projects and rooms. Women can’t win this one alone.
