There’s the part of you that’s always been a writer, and (harder fought) the part of you ready to own and acknowledge it. Today’s Writers’ Gym episode features award-winning director and screenwriter @pranobaileybond.bsky.social talking writing health, writing voice, creativity and curiosity.

Not only will the @pranobaileybond.bsky.social feature film Censor be screened as part of Aberdeen’s Granite Noir Festival this month, the Belmont Cinema Film Club will be discussing it a couple of nights after it’s screened.

The brilliant @pranobaileybond.bsky.social joined @mikemuncer.bsky.social and me at @regentstcinema.bsky.social last night to chat David Lynch and Mulholland Drive. Thanks to everyone who came along! Tickets for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (26 March) are on sale now 🎟️ evolutionofhorror.com/events

Honoured to have been invited to write for Empire Magazine on what David Lynch meant to me. It was very moving to write. And proud to be included alongside Nicholas Cage, Dexter Fletcher and others who worked with Lynch in this beautiful 12-page spread in Empire’s new issue ❤️

I stole this t-shirt off my older sister when I was 7 or 8 and wore it to primary school with such pride, so unimpressed by other kids asking me why my t-shirt said I killed some random girl, knowing they were missing out on that glorious nightmare fuel!

David Lynch, a treasure. We were so lucky to have him. His work exists in its own realm & always will. He created his own language & we all tuned in. An inspiration to so many of us. We owe him SO much. Rest in Cosmic Peace, David Lynch, the greatest, my hero 🤍🤍🤍

Drum roll please.... for I have seen many films I liked and admired this year BUT - "Which films did you LOVE, Prano?" I hear you (not) ask.... Well if you must (not) ask, it was these ones :)

An extremely beautiful, important & moving piece of writing by Mark after attending Derek's funeral last week. Derek was Mark's friend & the subject of his longterm photo-project. He will be very missed in our household 🤍 www.mag-north.com/posts/on-the...

I find it remarkable that CENSOR (2021) is @pranobaileybond.bsky.social first feature film. An atmospheric, visceral piece of cinema that wears its influences proudl. It deals with themes of trauma, repression & isolation. The period details are fantastic, the production design bleak & unnerving.

Massive respect to Coralie Fargeat for this. Sad to see Żydowicz responding so defensively to the ASC/BSC statements and not reflecting more on how his comments have come across. www.screendaily.com/news/coralie...
