Having a lovely writing day.

15th October is International Babyloss Awareness Day. 10 years ago we released our feature documentary #StillLoved. I’m still very proud of this film and so grateful to all the families that took part. #BLAW26 www.bigbuddhafilms.co.uk/our-work/sti...

COLD but gorgeous swim today.

Had the most wonderful 5 days on a writing retreat in Wales at #Emergence. Hosted by @philralph.bsky.social and #FernSmith. Stunning place. And my TV pilot is coming along nicely.

The first of my next 4 episodes of #Emmerdale airs tonight on ITV. Always a pleasure Directing this. It’s rare to find a cast and crew so wonderful as these guys. 💗

#Safe screens tonight at City Screen York as part of #ReigniteXVI. It will be great to be back on that screen after we won Best Director & Best Screenplay there at #ASFF a couple of years ago. Tickets: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/reignite-x...

I was walking home today when 2 boys aged about 11 past me by. They smiled at me and said “I like your clothes.” How sweet is that?

I'm usually underwhelmed by short films. I appreciate the effort that goes into them, but the results often leave a lot to be desired. But not here. This genuinely had me on edge and queasy for 10 minutes. Writing. Music. Lighting. Acting. All 10/10. Go watch it! 🔥 #filmsky #moviesky #mustwatch
