I’m working overnights this weekend and figured since I’ve been burning the middle oil finishing the new feature anyway, it’d help me manage through the night without hitting the wall. Reader, I have not hit the wall. I’ve smacked and been decimated by it.

Anyway, edit's nearly done.

Y'know, there's a cliché with directors hating their films during the early edits, wondering how they made such crap, knowing they will finally be banished to filmmaker purgatory. But as the process moves on and things refine, the film comes to life and love and excitement returns.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

It's a great set. The third film hasn't aged well, and it wasn't exactly high caliber to begin with, but the first film is shockingly moody and beautiful! And there's a surprise young Sam Rockwell in it!

Happy birthday, mate! May your adventures be less scandalous than Mr Chases!

It's been a bit of a day/week/year so far, but at 2am, I am sitting making monster noises, and I realise this is my happy place.

I'm gonna be burning the midnight oil working on an edit, and that means one thing; I am looking for constant distraction from social media please!

I loved it! It's such a great peak behind it all, and doesn't feel like it's pulling punches. It's my kinda doc!

Some solid 3 action going on there.

Decided to treat myself to Bring Her Back (pretty much my 2025 fav) and the new 4K of Night of the Living Dead 90 since I've been pinching pennies and living in a burrow the last few months (thought now it looks like it may be a few weeks before I have time to enjoy them)

This is how you bring peace and unity to the world. But you can keep Final Cut out of it!

Time is an illusion, yet I apparently can't imagine myself more time to do all these things?!

Yeah, it’s a shame. I know there was problems with Area 51, but even so, he still produced some great films for them. Makes you wonder what happened behind the scenes.

I’ve just discovered the US release of Paranormal Activity doesn’t have Oren Peli’s really interesting audio commentary. It’s so interesting, I’m shocked it isn’t on every release.

I'm really digging Rob Zombie's new album. In isolation, the singles weren't doing anything for me, but as a whole, it's a killer vibe the whole way through!

I absolutely love indie filmmaking, but it means you end up wearing a LOT of hats, and compositing and tracking effects are definitely some of my least favourite hats. Like fedoras; for some people, but not for me.

Oh my God do I love The Oldest View so much! The first long video going down had me so captivated, I didn't think the follow up vid could surpass it, but wow did it!

We didn't bastardise the English language into "ye", "yiz", "youse" and "yousins" to have Irish people unconnected to the US or other places it's used in saying "y'all", unless you're referring to the town in Cork we've PERFECTLY ADEQUATE second person plural pronouns at HOME

I sooooooo want it back! I miss that feel of excitement that physical media and brick and mortar stores gave!

My happy place used to be the video/music store, browsing and making new discoveries. Heck, every time I hit London, I go to Fopp in Covent Garden because it still has the most surprising range. I miss nerding out and deep-diving with like-minded folks!

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

I’m watching Pumkinhead 2 and they’ve dubbed in all the screams of one actor, but not a single one is the right length for her mouth movements 🤣

Whenever I send a client a link to review something via Vimeo, it ALWAYS recommends my old horror short films as a 'watch next'. I am absolutely not changing that 😂
