My latest arts commission with Peterborough Presents is now online! Watch here www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpV9...

I keep coming back to this song. Always taps into the sauntering sonder part of my brain. The whole album and its successors really remoulded that side to my taste in music www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn7H...

Currently drafting another idea, listening to this song and similar to help with it's mood and tone www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeR4...

Sharing my BFI-Funded, professionally credited Writer & Directorial Debut Short Film "Snapshot" Approaching 2,000 views on Omeleto Drama, totalling nearly 11,000 after its run on Omeleto. Feel free to watch here & give it a rating and review on @letterboxd.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxjz... 📽️

A 3rd blog post (for now!) discussing my recent commission for - and with - Peterborough Presents jcfilmmaker.substack.com/p/whats-chan...

The 2nd of 2 blog posts, with a third on the way, you lucky reader(s)! jcfilmmaker.substack.com/p/estuary-dreams

The 1st of 2 blog posts. A very deeply rooted, deeply thoughtful blog post that has been influenced by the most recent of news. I try to not let current affairs ruffle my feathers too much, but you'll see what I mean if you decide to give it a read - jcfilmmaker.substack.com/p/immoderate

My commissioned short film with Peterborough Presents entitled; "What's Changed?" Will be shown as part of their Reasonable Adjustments 2.0 exhibition from the 2nd-11th October. More details here if you're local, or want to trek for the visit. ☺️ peterboroughpresents.org/whats-change...

Recent discourse has helped reshape such up and coming posts!

Feeling nostalgic for when YouTube used to award you trophies and medals for popular and well-liked content in your respective videos genre and category. They would sit on your front profile page. I used to make short comedy sketches, and remember earning some, despite my output being terrible. 😂🏆

A nice collage of each blog post from my Substack. If you fancy reading anecdotes, personal ponderings, or my chartered creative journey, the link is in my Bio. 2 more posts from The Wettings will emerge in the next fortnight. 😊

For those on LinkedIn interested in my work. I reflect on my short film Snapshot, which first started being prepared during COVID lockdowns! www.linkedin.com/posts/jclx1v...

Slowly assembling my latest project; "What's Changed?" Should be ready to see by the end of this month!

Following my "Find Your Feet" short poem film, I was inspired to create another entitled "Currents" youtu.be/n0A1f4Ww3b8?...

Feeling reflective as of late. If you're on LinkedIn, feel free to give this a read. My journey of creating Short, Introspective Documentaries about my lived experiences with Autism. www.linkedin.com/posts/jclx1v...

Here's me using a stamp today, creating the opening sequence to my up and coming project with Peterborough Presents. ☺️

Snapshot's mighty year run on Omeleto's Main YouTube Channel draws to a close. Just shy of 10,000 views, it's now on its sister channel Omeleto Drama. Hopefully, more are able to see it. 😊 Watch here, if you haven't already done so: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxjz...

And here it is; www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J8Z...

Wondering how many working writers were told at a young age by somebody, somewhere, that they were good at this, and what a privilege that is. If nobody mentions your worldview is unique, interesting or funny, how will you find the confidence to write it all down? Or have the faith to even begin?

Pleased to share I've been selected as an Early Career Artists for Peterborough Presents Reasonable Adjustments 2.0 Commission. My project, called 'What's Changed?' will set to focus on the 30th Anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act. Read here for more details 😊 mailchi.mp/7853a6d6e3a7...

Deep breath, lads. In response to the proposed government disability cuts, I wrote a piece about my life before The Daily Tism (it includes a PIP assessment, a mental health crisis and iced Madeira cake). We’ll fight this with everything we’ve got. #TakingThePip

Find Your Feet will also will also be screening at @metalculture.bsky.social Southend in Chalkwell Park on Thursday 26th June as part of The Estuary Anthology. Tickets can be found here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/words-in-c... And you never know, I might make an appearance as well. 😳😬

Pleased to announce a new project, stemming from my hometown of Basildon! It's a Short Abstract Freeform Poem Film that I Wrote and Edited, entitled "Find Your Feet" as part of The Estuary Anthology I'd never wrote freeform before, so it was an amazing opportunity to try. 1/2

A pleasure to have worked on The National Autistic Society's latest project "In Our Words". Watch the 4 videos here www.autism.org.uk/in-our-words

If any of you are on LinkedIn, I wrote a couple of posts regarding my experiences around Scriptwriting, as well as being an Oliver McGowan Trainer; www.linkedin.com/posts/jclx1v... www.linkedin.com/pulse/3-thin...

#WorldAutismAwarenessDay #WorldAutismAcceptanceDay Continuing to the bang the drum of Snapshot, as it reaches 9,500 views on Omeleto. With a few up and coming projects still in the pipeline. One looking to challenge the stigmas and stereotypes of Neurodivergence and Chronic Illnesses. 😊

Better late than never! jcfilmmaker.substack.com/p/caught-in-...

A pleasure to be a Judge at The Peterborough Student Film Festival on Friday. Strange to be on the opposite end of things, deliberating from a great selection of work from budding Filmmaking Students. Flourishing with creativity! 😊

Snapshot is now on @letterboxd.social If you're also on there, and have watched the film, feel free to leave a review. 😊😬 www.letterboxd.com/tmdb/1444635

A new blog post is due. Just been a busy bee, housekeeping and juggling other projects. 🐝

Watch our award winning short film #Safe. A tense 10 minutes that tackles #violenceagainstwomen and #harassment. #EndVAW youtu.be/Wbc4zaew1ic?...

I have migrated my previous blog website from Wix to Substack. Feel free to check it out here; jcfilmmaker.substack.com

Beside myself to have Snapshot featured in Kino's Short Film Of The Week. Read my interview with them here www.kinoshortfilm.com/blog/2020/12...

Thinking of moving my Wettings blog from Wix to Substack due to pestering subscriptions that I can't afford at the moment. 🤔

Snapshot's Film Festival and Screening Journey to date, up and down the country.

Such a brilliantly effective, well made short film casting a light on a still pervasive issue. Very deserving of its countless laurels, please check it out. 16days16films.frb.io/films-2024/d...

Was great to return to South Essex College 10 years later, curated by the lovely @pathigginsfilm.bsky.social Having memories of sat in The Pod watching guest speakers (and Film Club!) to be then a guest speaker myself. Very surreal! But Snapshot went down very well, with a great Q&A session.

A pleasure to attend Peterborough's Gateway Film Festival last night, where Snapshot closed out The Local Filmmakers Showcase, screening alongside some wonderful talent. 😊

A pleasure to attend Square Lens Alliance's meeting in Halifax last Thursday...Via Zoom! Here, I attended a Q&A following a screening of Snapshot. Pictures by the lovely Dawn Feather. Many thanks to all for being so accommodating having been unable to attend in person. 😊

ICYMI. Lead Actor Josh Ward and I discuss the short film Snapshot with Auticast Podcast, as part of their Season 2 Finale!

Over this last year, I have been in Residency with Metal Arts Culture in Peterborough, however the City Council are wishing to remove them from their current property at Chaffeur's Cottage with no alternative accommodation put in place. 1/3

Had my first Podcast interview today. Will share more about this soon!

Hello! I am a Writer and Director, sharing my BFI-Funded Debut Short Snapshot. A semi-autobiographical account of my experiences negotiating unemployment and the job interview process, as an Autistic adult. Currently available to watch on Omeleto m.youtube.com/watch?v=lWmU...
