Dave Holloway

Filmmaker, editor, producer. I make all kinds of weird stuff. Co-director of @soifilmfestival. Find me on BlueSky

I am now on BlueSky. I will be keeping this Twitter account to prevent the name being taken.

Here is my account: https://t.co/zUTZJ1E6d3

Peace.

Honestly, it looks like a porn app. #x

So, basically, what I am saying is: https://t.co/mBuag4stO2

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

I loved Twitter when it started, and I would proudly tell all in earshot that it would change the world and was the future of online conversations. I had a lot of fun, got to talk to a lot of interesting people and made some new friends.

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

…the final straw was the cancellation of third party apps; the Twitter website and app are horrible and even Tweetdeck is gone. Musk has killed this place and I am done here, certainly for the time being. I hope I get to see you all again, in a nicer and friendly environment.

Went to a 50th anniversary screening of #TheWickerMan tonight only to find over an hour of poorly shot shakycam interview footage from a celebration event in London preceded it - stuffed full of spoilers and plot reveals, with no warning. Terrible decision from @StudiocanalUK

This isn’t mentioned in my book - there was just too much other weirdness to fit in - but in 1990 Steven Seagal participated in a video called The Celebrity Guide To Wine.

In it, he and then-wife Kelly LeBrock open a bottle of wine in the most excruciatingly awkward way possible.

Enjoy. (Thanks to @Lawrence_Norton for the original link)

Sometimes I just feel like modern life is a prank I don’t get.

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

Imagine being so shit that you’re bricking it over Kier Starmer.

[George Mann @sgfmann]

Daily Mail: Starmer to use EU citizens to ‘rig’ polls #TomorrowsPapersToday

[Pulp Librarian @PulpLibrarian]

Today in pulp I head back to 1981 to look at TV Tops magazine!

It didn't last too long, but it's an interesting example of the cut-throat world of UK comics...

…so, what I’m saying is, I’m responsible for his whole career 🤣

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

Having a rainy Bank Holiday clear out and happened upon this old DVD sleeve for a corporate video I produced 20yrs or so ago. Can you spot the incredibly famous actor we cast before he became a star?

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

Fun fact: on the 1st day of shooting Toby asked he could leave early as he had an audition. Naturally we let him go… and he got the part, which was playing the younger brother of Paddy Considine in Dead Man’s Shoes (also the first movie I worked on)…

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

@Ryabolique @AndyLonsdale7 I’m printing that off and giving it to my wife.

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

@AndyLonsdale7 @Ryabolique If it is a genuine Dave then I may know the Dave you’re talking about and I feel your pain.

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

@Ryabolique @AndyLonsdale7 I’m as delighted to not be the source of the problem as I am horrified to learn there’s a problem in the first place. I think we’ve all experienced such issues at one point or another, but DocFest is too good an experience to let one arsehole ruin it for you.

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

After all the ridiculous pomp and circumstance, the #Coronation ended just like any other night out.

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

Live scenes from the #Coronation; a rare candid shot of #KingCharles as he prepares for the most important day of his life.

[Dave Holloway @DaveMedlo]

Kickout time at the #Coronation. You haven’t got to go back to the palace, but you can’t stay here.
