We had a great time at the @dvmission award screening last night!
Nice to be able to sit and enjoy all the films as an audience member and so good to see DV Mission continuing under @cityeye_media’s guardianship now.

Well done to all the teams that took part in the challenge and a very well done to Ben & Sophie for winning the Spirit of DV Mission award for their family team, Amazing Graces.

The best films i watched at the cinema this year (from an admittedly short list for my standards)

1. Sinners - by far the film I enjoyed the most, my kind of film, a bit supernatural, a bit gothic, heavy on the blues music and great storytelling

2. Conclave - a really good adaptation of a very dialogue heavy book, wonderful performances

3. The Life of Chuck - a soft sci-fi, timey-wimey story that left me with a heart warming feeling

And an honourable mention for the most fun I had at the cinema this year, taking my nephews to see The Minecraft Movie (ok ok ok I made them come with me). A very joyous experience, love to hear a cinema full of people laughing and having a great time.

Looking forward to more cinema visits in the new year.

Wow!

Firstly well done @dvmission on another fantastic evening. It was so great to watch everyone’s films and celebrate completing the #48HourFilmChallenge together.

I’m so pleased that our team #3BusStops was nominated for the social media award and we also walked away with the award for Best Editing! 🏆

It’s always nice to leave the evening with a prizes but this one was especially special for me as it’s the first time I took on the editing for challenge. I often say “I can edit, but I don’t think of myself as an editor” - well guess I proved myself wrong on that one.

Thank you to all of my team @bengrace87 @ambsantonia @tomdangerfield94, Simon, Jerry and Alec for making it such a fun weekend and for putting your all into making a silly heist movie with me.

I made this Jurassic Park themed cross stitch recently. It’s my favourite one I’ve made so far. I bought the pattern and kit from Plastic Little Covers on Etsy.

(Also I’m on TikTok now 🤷‍♀️)

This photo was taken 1 year ago today on the set of feature film ‘Alive’. I started as a production assistant/boom op and went on to be 1st AD briefly before we had to stop filming because of COVID.
The shoot was completed later in the year although I couldn’t rejoin the rest of the crew.
I can’t wait to see the finished film!

I am currently working with Dale to create some promotional content so keep an eye out for that.
