Exciting news for 'Gnomes'! This was such a pleasure to script consult on for Screen Invaders/2Jons & can't wait to see those scripts brought to life by Matthias Hoene, Joel Kohn & Sian Davies.

Like competing Cinderella, Snow White and Pinocchio projects before… there are two “young Stalin” projects at Cannes this year — he obviously just entered the public domain.

This was an excellent script & I loved Mungiu’s RMN so very much looking forward to this!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who shared or contributed to our campaign, this is a really special moment for us! Now it's time to get on with making a killer film 🌌🔥🌹

The past 4 months I've been producing a short: an ambitious period film that transforms into a cosmic horror, about the things we put our faith into. I'm excited to see Director Luke David Sims' vision come to life & we've launched a crowdfunder. #filmskyuk #scriptskyuk greenlit.com/project/each...

Lovely Christmas drinks for @scribelounge.bsky.social today! And the first time in 4 years all of us “hosts” of Scribe Lounge have been in the same room! This screenwriting community is wonderful 🙏🏼 #scriptskyuk

I just calculated my past year in Script Consulting and I’ve provided coverage on 130 scripts & 13 books this year (for clients, film markets and production companies), not to mention dozens of Scribe Lounge pitches and 10 pagers 🤓🙌🏼 #scriptskyuk

I have FIVE spaces left for the January group… Honestly this is the best thing I’ve ever done! www.amytrevaskus.co.uk/mentor

Now Watching: Napoleon: Apple Cut Unsurprisingly, restoring a large number of the interpersonal scenes between Napoleon & Josephine render this a much more coherent and compelling film. The hinted at themes (impotence) of the theatrical cut become text here and it's so much more interesting for it.

Working with Amy on this fantastic take on the post-apocalypse story is a real pleasure & so interesting to work within the frame of adapting a book of poetry. Very excited to see this develop and go off into the world 🙌 #scriptskyuk

Had a good old day location scouting in Dartmoor for the period/horror short I'm producing. Very brooding landscapes.
