This film contains beards, dogs, Wolverine, the greatest monologue ever captured on film and @SirPatStew @IanMcKellen second-best performance. Enjoy x

@Se_Railway Any from 6 onwards?

[Simon K Matthews @SimonKMatthews]

@Se_Railway Hiya are you having trains from Faversham to Ramsgate running? They look all cancelled on the website.

[Gina Lyons @GinaLyons]

I’ve set up a women in comedy WhatsApp group. Performers/ writers/ producers/ directors/ casting/ agents. If you work in comedy and identify as female, get involved.

[ellie kitchener @EllieKitch3ner]

I’m on the hunt for micro budget feature scripts.

Ideally minimal locations - UK based scripts

Thriller/horror would be great but open to reading any!

[Adam Lavis @AdamLavis]

Thinking about doing some Zooms in Jan to help writers kickstart their year. Open to talk about setting goals, how to manage your time, how to network etc. Let me know if that’s of interest to you and we can figure out the details :)

[Gina Lyons @GinaLyons]

Worried I’ll be overwhelmed here, but if you identify as female and are actively trying to pursue a career in comedy as a producer or director, and want to join a small group of women I mentor, pls wave.

[Simon K Matthews @SimonKMatthews]

@aliceetches @NobbsMemorial That is lovely news and deserved.

[Simon K Matthews @SimonKMatthews]

@OhHiRalphJones @aliceetches Great work

[Simon K Matthews @SimonKMatthews]

@AdamLavis So excited for you

[Simon K Matthews @SimonKMatthews]

@JamHoopFilm 100% Some films prioritise showing the action rather than implying it. Some movies would be stronger by letting us use our imagination more.

[Simon K Matthews @SimonKMatthews]

@UKLabour Phew

Vote Them Out

[Clive Tyldesley @CliveTyldesley]

And another (far more important) thing while I’ve got your attention…

[Simon K Matthews @SimonKMatthews]

@katylcowan Not a fan.

The issue is the use of AI as the idea of the ad, which lacks any substance and feels at odd with a brand rooted in nostalgia and children’s emotions.
