National Cinema Day’s success should remind the industry that it’s the prices that limit peoples trips to the cinema, not their lack of desire to go.
This should’ve been obvious, but heyho.

Good riddance, May. You were a terrible person before, during and I’m sure after. Your tears for yourself are nothing against the tears you have caused.

I’ve recently met some very talented actors in the casting room.
Sadly I can’t give everyone who is brilliant a role, but its worth saying that not getting one role doesn’t mean you are not brilliant.
You are not mad - you did do really well.
Don’t stop.

Today would have been Alan Rickman’s birthday. He told me to keep going and ‘be careful who you listen to because no-one knows anything in this business.’
I continue to keep going, and regularly discover how bloody right he was.

The average cost for a family of 4 is £45 (no snacks or travel)
In 1985, it was £5.40.
Ok ok, inflation. So 1985’s £5.40 today would be… £13. For a family of 4.

I get baffled all over again when reviews like this come in & I reflect on how we got no industry finance, no sales agent, and no distributor. But my first film continues to find its way out, against all odds. Proud.

Out next year.
I feel like I’ve been shot with a super laser and now it’s time to regenerate but it’s different this time. So perhaps I’ll sleep for a week.

Cinema used to be known as the ‘poor man’s theatre’ Accessible art and entertainment for the people.
Make it that again. Cinemas and all types of films (ie.. not just blockbusters) will thrive.

Pretty much 1985 prices. And so they went, in droves.

Applied for production money from BFI for the McKellen doc: rejected.
Point is rejections don’t define you, how you pick yourself up and what you do next does. Make them look stupid, and be assured that you are not.

If you are seeing my film today, do let me know what you think.
Ian describes how everything is for the audience, and it’s something we have in common. The film is for you, not me or him.
