Not surprised.. To stay in this career as a working class artist , I’m working 4/5 jobs , as well as creating and writing and trying to develop my own shit. Everything is a burn out sprinkled over with a ‘you must work harder’ attitude. They’ll never get it. Enough is enough.
Working class creatives in film and TV at lowest level in decade

Always always pave the way. I remember Ian Kershaw saying to me after various helping hands and advice that 'All I ask is you do the same for someone else'. Always have the coffee, offer the advice, help someone who's starting out or who's learning a new skill. Pave the way. ✨

Today I start a new project.The excitement is real but the fear has also been overbearing. I'm writing this on here as a reminder to look back on. Nerves are also excitement and I can change the narrative of the fear. Perfect doesn't exist - instead 'to play' does❤️
