[Philip Ralph @PhilipRalph9]

Invest in drama for young people. Drama in schools. It isn’t about making ‘stars’. It’s about widening horizons. Human empathy and understanding. A bigger world. It saved my life. It should be there for everyone.

[Aaron Carruthers @Aaronfilmwrit85]

Ron Howard remembers the late #RobertRedford as an "artistic game-changer."

"A tremendously influential figure for the creative choices made as an actor/producer/director and for launching Sundance, which supercharged America’s indie film movement."

"Every screening I went to was sold out, including my own, and the audience was incredibly active in the Q&As - so much soul!" - Marianne Blicher, director of Miss Viborg 🥰

[Morgan Freeman @morgan_freeman]

There are certain people you know that you’re going to click with. After working with Robert Redford on Brubaker in 1980, we instantly became friends. Working with him again in An Unfinished Life was a dream come true.

Rest peacefully, my friend.

[David Henry @DavidDhenry]

The world's largest arts festival is on in Edinburgh yet where's the Scottish local TV coverage? When STV had the Local TV licences they made many programmes. In fact in 2016 I produced 25 one hour as live shows for Showbiz TV on Sky. https://t.co/p6kYb515Vw
