Great to be showing my film at @londonanimclub special event @TheGardenCinema alongside a diverse lineup of animation stars. Plus exciting amateur animators. Martin Pickles has done a wonderful job interviewing & recording animators, free for all from pubs for years. @stewjeez

It’s not easy in the UK. Before the demise of Ch4 & BBC, many more UK films screened at festivals & they got shown on TV. In 2002 myself & a group of animators lobbied the BFI for a properly funded short animation fund. In 2019 they launched the scheme. 17 years of lobbying.

To take one of the best original stories and most fantastic artistic works of the 20th century to this level of pure rubbish just proves the level of corruption the major players are engaged in. And what for? to line their pockets and pollute the world with their ignorance.

More AI myth making, there currently exists no machine that can do what a human can do. All the designs and backgrounds look awful. It must be called out now the suits are backing it.

Pleased that my film Boudica a Norfolk Story made in 2013 for display in @NorwichCastle is featured in Aeon Magazine. The film collages many items from the collection including coins and 2000 year old pottery to make the characters for the animation.

So one week later and I have not had a proper response from PALS. Only an automated email. I need you to give me a better lead on how to deal with this issue.

When St Thomas/Guys hospital ring my mobile it goes straight to voicemail but there is no evidence they have called. The settings are correct on my phone. I googled the issue and it’s not just me. I’m deaf and can only hear with my hearing aids on my mobile. @NHSEngland p advise.
