It's been an excellent week at @Absolute_Post working on the colour and grade for my next short as Director, #Clutter, with our brilliant DOP @AmyNewstead and fantastic colourist Marina. Really pleased with how the film is coming together. Post-prod almost complete. #indiefilm

A little reminder that @finally_nearly screens TONIGHT at @LewesDepot for the opening night of the @madeinsussex film festival at 5.45pm. I'll be there, along with lead actors @roisinrae and @BrooksLivermore ... and a few members of the crew. @filmsussex #indiefilm #filmmaker

Excited to announce another screening of @finally_nearly at Made in Sussex Film Festival on April 25th at @LewesDepot. Probably the last cinema screening of it ever, so one FINAL CHANCE to watch it on the big screen. Love to see you there. Tickets here:

Good week in the edit suite, working on the first cut of short film #Clutter, and this scene featuring #SuzanneProcter and #SamanthaPower is giving me flashbacks to my feature film @finally_nearly. I can't resist a car interior shot from behind. #filmmaker #indiefilm

5 DAYS, 67 SLATES, and 223 TAKES later, principle photography on @sash_clutter_film is complete. Was an absolute pleasure to work with the superb cast & fantastic crew - one of the best ever. Thrilled to have been invited to direct this wonderful project. Now on to post-prod !

3 down, 3 to go - ! #AFistfulOfMondays

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

Set all packed up and ready to go, #AFistfulOfMondays is moving from the rehearsal room to the theatre. It's been an intensive week putting this show together and now there's just the tech and dress to go until opening night on Tuesday. Eeek!

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

Day 1 of rehearsals for #AFistfulOfMondays with the always brilliant @SteveHay - lots of laughter already !

[Ania Card - UPDATES ONLY @aniacard]

I spoke to @JerichoWriters about being mentored by the brilliant Donna Freitas, finding an agent and the road to publication. More below!

[Ania Card - UPDATES ONLY @aniacard]

Find me in this week's @JerichoWriters newsletter talking about how having a mentor with Jericho helped me with my novel, writing craft and my confidence as a writer. Full interview here: https://t.co/f6zoZ8qDrR @DeadInkBooks @LiverpoolLit

It's been 14 YEARS since I last performed on the #EdinburghFringe! Spent a few whirlwind days re-living fab memories of doing shows at the Underbelly, and the Gilded Balloon. All very overwhelming to be back, but absolutely love this city. Always will x

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

This is the face of someone who hasn't done a full-length play in a very long time, and is suddenly remembering how much effort goes in to line-learning and character prep. Eeek ! #acting #anactorprepares #afistfulofmondays

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

Had a wonderful week in Wales, proudly following my darling @aniacard thru Cardiff, Swansea, and Hay on Wye, on her mini book tour, publicising #AboveUstheSea from @deadinkbooks. She was brilliant, & it was awesome to see so many people loving her book and coming out to meet her.

[BlackwellsManchester @BlackwellsMcr]

Discussing themes of friendship, desire and the body, we had a fantastic time last night listening to @aniacard & @aetwigg talk to Lara Williams about their brilliant debuts ABOVE US THE SEA and SPOILT CREATURES. Two of our fave books of the year, signed copies are available now!

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

Still absolutely gob-smacked by this incredible award from @KIFFESTUK and @Lipsynctweets last month for our feature film @finally_nearly !

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

I watched the documentary #Wilding at the cinema today. It had a profound emotional effect on me, and I was totally overwhelmed. Please go see it. It's incredible ! (I'm not remotely involved in it. I just loved it and wanted to recommend it!)

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

My amazing wife has been busy recording many interviews and podcasts in the lead up to the launch of her debut novel #AboveUsTheSea from @DeadInkBooks in a couple of weeks. The first one's been released. You can listen to it here, if you like: https://t.co/0wJNF9GiqE

[James Card @JamesC_Card]

Yup! I'll pretty much be following my wife around all summer as she travels all over the UK on her book tour !

[Dead Ink Books @DeadInkBooks]
