Writer or director characters are one of my personal pet peeves. After reading hundreds of new writers funding submissions, it’s a pattern that comes up quite a lot. The below thoughtful guide on how to move beyond that comfort zone is definitely worth a read. #scriptsky #filmmaking

A gentle Monday reminder that Mental Health Awareness Week may be over, but it's still important to take care of our own mental health and to look out for those around us. I'm not an expert, but I find these resources really helpful. filmtvcharity.org.uk/get-support/... #scriptsky #filmmaking

Rejection might be universal, but it so often feels like a lonely place. It’s tough not to take it to heart or question your work. Really appreciate you sharing your experience — it’s great reminder to keep going! #scriptsky #scriptskyuk #filmmaking

I had to set aside a dream I’d held since I was 16 — becoming an independent producer. Without personal financial support, it didn’t feel sustainable. I still hope to return to it, but with the industry as it is, it’s hard to say when. #producing #filmmaking www.screendaily.com/news/second-...

For me, season 3 didn’t quite reach the heights of the first two — but there’s still so much to love. Holding out hope for what’s to come! #TheBear #tvshow #hetv

Absolutely love the thoughtful, educational work @thescriptreader.bsky.social is doing. It’s such a gift to have this kind of experience shared so openly. The writers I support have found your posts incredibly accessible, and they’re already putting your advice into practice. #scriptsky #filmsky

Huge congratulations to the team! Mr Bates vs The Post Office is a powerful reminder of why I love this industry. Now more than ever, we need stories that stand for something. It’s so encouraging to see it recognised — and making real change beyond the screen. #bafta #scriptsky #britishtv #hetv

Sadly, I’ve been in this position more times I’d like to admit to myself. It’s disheartening — creative work is real work, and it deserves proper recognition. People don’t live and pay bills in exposure or portfolio. We owe it to each other to break this cycle! #scriptsky #filmsky #tvsky

“Yippee ki-yay…” We are excited to tell everyone that Westminster Council decided on May 1st that the Prince Charles Cinema would be included in the list of Assets of Community Value maintained by the Council under section 87 of the Localism Act 2011.

The film and telly industry is undoubtedly on the brink of change. The question is, where will it lead us? #filmsky #FutureOfStorytelling #FilmAndTVThoughts

Thank you @mattbelloni.bsky.social for your quick reaction! Both American and global industries are in a deep crisis. We don’t need more issues, but real solutions and financing restructuring! #movie #filmsky #tariffs

My beloved grandpa, a longtime humanities teacher, just passed. At his funeral, students from across decades showed up. I realised then he didn’t just inspire my love of storytelling – he sparked it in generations. Here’s to those who first lit the flame for writers and filmmakers! #scriptsky

Anyone else from the filmmakers out there found The Studio very anxiety inducing? ;) #appletv #thestudio #tvshow #filmmakerslife

I hope that Adolescence will prove to both writers and commissioners that socially engaged drama is worth a while. We need more of them! #adolescence #tvshow

As always, it was great to attend BFI Flare- a LGBTQ+ film festival! This year I was able only watch Hot Milk and If I Die There Will Be Joy. I’m looking for recommendations on queer films screened there I should look out for. #bfiflare #filmfestival #queer #queerfilm #lgbtq+ #filmsky

Flow global box office is over $36 Million and still going strong! Not bad for a $3.7 million budget! Exciting times for independent animation! variety.com/2025/film/bo...

📣Applications now open! ScreenSkills, in association with Directors UK, is offering an opportunity for three directors new to HETV drama and based in the regions, to receive mentoring and support from experienced and established directors in the genre. 📅Apply by Thu 24 Apr 🔗 ow.ly/UzB850Vlk6L

Berlin ER is my recent German AppleTV discovery. Very gritty, strongly grounded in reality of underfunded hospitals and full of ambiguous characters. I recommend giving it a go even if you’re not a fan of non English language shows! #tvshow #tv #appletv #krankberlin youtu.be/VXNlCOtVDnE?...

River City becomes next British long running show to be cancelled in recent years… This is a terrible news not only for employees and their families but also an end to a fantastic talent pipeline. #britishtv #tvshow #bbc #scotland www.televisual.com/news/bbc-axe...

I love that!

The greatest British TV shows were born out of band 2 budgets and commissioners not afraid to take creative risks. We don’t see much of either anymore. #tv #tvshow #uktv www.thetimes.com/article/80b8...

Love reading this #WIP trend! I want to get to know more of you brilliant writers 😊 #scriptsky #filmsky

In this weird times of diversity regress, I feel that the UK should work even harder in that area. Reservation Dogs is an amazing example of community representation but not many Brits have seen it. Watch it to get inspired! #scriptskyuk #tvshow #reservationdogs youtu.be/YWYVTyhFAOU?...

WGGB was involved with + support's @tuc.org.uk's new AI manifesto, published today, which calls for action to protect workers in the creative industries amid huge changes in AI Read more in the Guardian, incl a quote from our Chair @emmajanereeves.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

In my opinion Flow is the biggest winner of #oscars. This tiny production made with free #blender won with the best names of the #animation industry. It’s a legendary achievement! I hope that it will give more courage to animators out there and open up more funding opportunities. #indieanimation

According to the public announcements, several Oscar nominated films this year have used AI. There’s still no guidance on how to approach intellectual property in that kind of cases. Is it possible that those films will disappear soon as they won’t be able to clear rights? #AI #Oscars #filmsky

The CRA are standing with all creators and performers, sending a clear message to UK Government; Make it Fair - stop siding with big tech and ensure that creators are fairly rewarded when their work is used to train AI. #makeitfair #PaytheCreator. Read more: www.creatorsrightsalliance.org

A friendly Monday reminder to all struggling screenwriters! Harvard Business School 2019 study found that the Black List films did better at cinemas than their same budget counterparts generating 90% more revenue at the box office. Rejection doesn’t define you or your project! #scriptsky

We Live In Time didn't impress me with the idea or scenes from the characters' life they chose to make the concept work. But the flat surface egg trick is first-class! You never know where you can find a new cooking hack :) #filmuksky #filmsky #eggs #irony #weliveintime @a24movies.bsky.social

Both directors and producers have been struggling to earn any money. Film financing requires urgent changes; otherwise, we won’t see any new indie films soon. I’m not convinced Sing Sing is a sustainable model, but it could inspire alternative approaches. #filmsky open.spotify.com/episode/0j5v...

That marks the end to an important era in the entertainment… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #jamesbond #film #filmuk #barbarabroccoli

Showing that women of different ages have sexuality in films like Babygirl or even the new Bridget Jones is great. But, the Thelma and Louise rewatch made me realise that since 1991, the validation of women's experiences hasn’t received much more representation. Are we missing the point? #film
