@LukeBarnett Haha amazing 😅

[Ryan Leston @RyanLeston]

@LukeBarnett Can't wait, man - you're absolutely slaying. Couldn't be more deserved.

[Ryan Leston @RyanLeston]

@LukeBarnett @TheAVClub Absolutely LOVE this for you, man 😂

We watched Knives Out a few times after she got ill. Every single time, it was the first time she had ever seen it, and she fell in love with her favourite movie all over again. At a time when I was struggling to keep myself together, this was pure magic. Love you, Mum xxx

[Ryan Leston @RyanLeston]

It's Mother's Day, so here's a little story about my mum that I thought I'd share... It's no secret that I love films. My career has revolved around them. But Mum hated them - she couldn't sit still long enough.

[Ryan Leston @RyanLeston]

We watched it together, on opening night, and she ADORED it.
She was diagnosed with Dementia a short while after. She had good days and bad days, and sometimes it was harder than anything I've ever been through.

@LukeBarnett The moustache alone was made for this!

Torchwood legend Gareth David-Lloyd has joined my debut interactive film.

Shot some very exciting stuff over the course of a couple of days, and he was absolutely excellent - the whole cast has been throughout. Can't wait to show everyone more. https://t.co/sXNrQcV3ok

@elonmusk @grok Not 1.21 GW?

Honestly, anyone bitching about Kathy Kennedy has no clue what she's contributed to the industry.

An absolute legend whose resume kicks all kinds of ass.

[Ryan Leston @RyanLeston]

@scottderrickson Such a great cast all around, but Brolin was an absolute powerhouse.

[Ryan Leston @RyanLeston]

@scottderrickson Glad you're back, man!
