It took me 30 years to understand that the cheat code to life is to avoid what everyone thinks of you and just do whatever the f*ck you want.

Here's to you, Anthony.

[Skyson @notagrocer]

Heartbroken. All the preparation in the world doesn’t stop the grief the day of. Perhaps I’ll have better words tomorrow, but for today… thank you, @AnthonySHead, for your hand in giving me the best memories of my life. Give Sarah a big hug and rest easy, lovely man. 💙

This one hurts so much.💔There’s so much to say, but no words feel good enough. 2026 has taken so much light from us, but this one is crushing.❤️💔💔🕊️

Can we normalise mainstream streaming platforms taking on short films because my creative pain point is that I have a lengthy “to watch” list of shorts that I can’t watch because they’re at festivals across oceans or not made available. Gap in the market, people.🤷🏻‍♀️

One of the best humans & best directors I know - think Hounds of Love, The Artful Dodger, Population 11, & Run (now streaming on @binge!) - jumped on mic with The Most Isolated podcast. Ben’s brilliance is only outweighed by his kindness.⬇️🎬👏🏻

When performing a @StanleyKubrick script, the lines are written by Stanley
in his films i believe.
Alot of it rewritten daily by him in his trailer or right on set.
In his chair, his typewriter in front of him.
All the dialogue is written in a very matter of fact way.
It's common in all his films.
Stanley was a very straight forward person.
And his very specific dialogue was the same.
As an actor working for him i quickly got the sense that he wanted every syllable, every bit of punctuation used and made relevant in the performances.
Every period present, every comma etc.
And no pauses.
Very rare when he would consider that a pause could help a delivery.
Yet i'd have to do this while still performing as the character i brought forward to help tell the story.
So the different performances/characters come across as individuals but the dialogue in every film no matter what extra choices the actor brings physically and emotionally has a similar tone a similar cadence and flatness for lack of a better term.

There is an uneasiness to it.
A subtle tone of uneasiness.
And simply because of his way of writing it and the actors total commitment in performing it exactly punctually the way wrote it.

A tone that stands out different than any other performed dialogue in other directors film.
A very particular uneasiness in the sound of it.
I'm not saying it's better but it somehow perfectly told the story in a way only Stanleys films could.
That uneasy tone is so prominent in all his films.
Although never spoken about i remember realizing a month or probably more in that this is definitely different and began to enjoy his writing so much.
Stanley never discussed this.
There was so many realizations i had while making that film with him.
All of them had to do with me learning that i'm just making a film, i'm making a Kubrick film and this is how it's done.
What a thrill it was to work with him as the 24 yr old actor i was then.

Things get broken.
They just do.
Some can be fixed.
Most cannot.
Broken things can be partially mended.
Sure.
Carful that once seemingly fixed you are not just seeing what you want to see and not the fact that this thing is not unbroken.
Not fixed at all.
It just appears that way to you.
You who can't bare the fact that you may have to mourn that which is unfortunately simply broken.
It's hard to lose something forever.
Even if it contributes nothing more.
It is broken and unfixable.
And whatever you do don't try and replace it with another thing that seems exactly like the last one that didn't last.
Move on to something different.

Enlightenment i believe it's called.

Remember that shooting in Australia? Remember when people yelled and screamed about it proving gun laws don't work?

Well, since that atrocious day over 5,000 Americans have been shot in the land of the free. 5000.

Australia? Well, it's so rare that when I said "a shooting in Australia" you knew exactly which event I was referring to.

Thoughts and prayers don't work.
