I wrote 'But The Main News Tonight' in Dec '25, started props in Jan '26, cast it Feb '26, shot it ad-hoc since April. Nearly done, premieres at EdFringe in August.

Not an AI prompt in sight.

Back To The Future moment. Clearly we meant 2015.

The only way we've kept NIghtpiece Film Festival running since 2105 is by camping and commuting. It would be impossible to run if we opted for city centre accommodation.

Haha, next film goes out for casting & into production soon. Obviously it's not Obsession or Backrooms & I'm not a twenty something YouTuber so it's as irrelevant as all my other films since 2010..but I'm following the gameplan social media at large thinks has just been invented.

13th year of Nightpiece Film Festival in EdFringe this August. Also featuring the premiere of my 26th indie feature since 2010 #butthemainnewstonight

[Nightpiece Film Festival @nightpiece]

2026 is our 13th season in #edfringe since 2014. We've screened 400+ shorts from filmmakers across the globe. That's pretty good going for an event that's never seen a penny of external funding. #supportindiefilm
