Comment on: Why Sightseers is the British film of the year
You REALLY should go see this film. It isn't like anything else out there. A real original. It made me laugh so much that I wanted to punch the air. It's dark and twisted fun.
Comment on: PGA to bestow Selznick honour on Working Title
That's brilliant news. A big well done to Working Title.
Comment on: Iain Canning on Top of the Lake, See Saw's TV slate and producing future Steve McQueen films
A TV crime drama by Jane Campion?! That is really exciting. With that and The Killing 3 on the way, it's a fantastic time for TV. Bring it on...
Comment on: Screen Yorkshire unveils £15m production fund
Great news for Yorkshire! Hurrar for Screen Yorkshire, and for the remaining people there who have worked so hard to keep things afloat. The region needs them.
Comment on: Industry pays tribute to Bingham Ray
I first met Bingham at EIFF way back in 1995. He was always the friendly face in a room. Will be sadly missed.
Comment on: Hot projects on Screenbase
I can't wait to see The Snowman! It's a stunningly visual (and scary) book - and to have a master like Scorsese direct it is a very exciting prospect. A big thumbs up to Working Title.
Comment on: Leeds Film Festival to become qualifying event for Oscars
Great news for Leeds - and it's a real credit to the festival's short film programmers that the quality of their selections has made it an Oscar shorts qualifying festival. Quality, indeed.
Comment on: Real Steel vies to knock Smurfs from international perch
Hit those blue faced Smurfs! Do it. Do it. It's time they went down...
Comment on: The Future of Edinburgh?
Hadn't the £1.9 million from the UKFC already been spent in the 3 years that it was for (2008,9,10)? Isn't that a big part of the reason why this year's festival was so scaled down, because it no longer had that and other funding? I had a great time at this year's festival - even without the lovely red carpets. The Talent Lab was a real success, and there were sold out screenings (mainly evenings but when is the daytime ever full?) for films like Perfect Sense, Trollhunter, Weekender, Monica Velour, Our Day Will Come, Project Nim...to name just a few. And who knows -maybe it will go back to August, and looks like the prizes will return. Here's to the future of Edinburgh - it is a festival to cherish and support.
Comment on: Vaizey confirms BFC, regional screen agencies will stay
I'm also worried at the lack of Regional input here. Is Screen England there on behalf of all the RSAs? As it feels a bit wrong (umm, very wrong) that there isn't some kind of representation from the actual regions themselves. What about Screen Yorkshire, E M Media and all the other regions? Shouldn't they be in the first round of consultations? They are not second class to London.
