Post-Apocalyptic no-budget short reccie complete ✅

Watching Johnny Mnemonic (1995) this evening and the opening titles feel like downright crazytalk! Imagine such a world!

Daily surprise at how terrible many German websites are.

Buttons not working, click-throughs which lead to the same page, CTAs that just don't Action!

I want to think that improved UI will encourage a wider change in this, but I wonder if many people kinda enjoy it.

Got a bit of time in my calendar for some self-reflection and want to invest a bit of cash into some self-development: Anyone here in the creative sector in Europe ever used a career coach? If so, recommendations please! 🙏

A still from the wonderful Persona (1966).
Ingmar Bergman? More like Ingmar Berghain? 🏴

Testing out @HeyGen_Official translation on French and German. I don’t speak either language so let me know if it sounds natural if you do.
I hope if you pay you can turn off the color correction.
It didn’t work on my phone so I had to upload on my pc.

Also, what an amazing poster - must have pulled in a few more bums in seats just based on that alone. Glad he's gone off and done so well.

Just watched @corinhardy's The Hallow (2015) - British/Irish folk horror. Really enjoyed its Straw Dogs meets Irish folklore concept, and it's creative weave in of the now familiar Cordryceps mushroom (of Last of Us fame) into the horror.

[Sam Ainsworth @Sam__Ainsworth]

Both main characters' eyes get threatened in horrible ways - @corinhardy clears has a thing for them.

Gonna make a no-budget post-apocalyptic short-short in Berlin in the next few weeks cuz we have a ridiculous location and why not 🤷‍♂️

Hit me up with your recommendations for favourite post-apoc films (esp those with twists).

[Sam Ainsworth @Sam__Ainsworth]

@You1AreNotAlone Thanks!!

[Sam Ainsworth @Sam__Ainsworth]

Right now reminding myself of the masterpiece that is David Slade's Black Mirror episode, 'Metalhead', with Maxine Peake

What are some other weird/overlooked genre films of this ilk that I could check out?

[Sam Ainsworth @Sam__Ainsworth]

Researching weird sci-fi-esque films right now and Jonathan Glazer takes the bacon.

'Birth' follows a woman (Kidman) whose dead husband appears to be reincarnated in the form of a 10 year old boy. It creeps its way into a sticky topic (loving a child) in its examination of grief

Note: if you want to have a chill time after your Mac breaks down, don't live in a different country from where you bought it 😅

@LaurenUba *most terrifying 💯

Has there ever been a better cinema advertising campaign that the Orange Wednesday films? Based around the fictional Orange Film Board, these ran throughout the early 2000s, and starred Brennan Brown and Steve Furst.

Here are some of our favourites…
