Here's the main artwork for my 26th indie feature 'But The Main News Tonight' which premieres in EdFringe this August Technically it's still 'in test' but it won't be changing much.

2026 is our 13th season in #edfringe since 2014. We've screened 400+ shorts from filmmakers across the globe. That's pretty good going for an event that's never seen a penny of external funding. #supportindiefilm

Checkout this blog I wrote for Stage 32. As a filmmaker you've got to be aware of the state of the wider industry you are part of.

#ButtheMainNewsTonight. My 26th #indie feature film starts shooting in a few weeks. Haha, what makes it unique in 2026? It's a real film with real actors and an original story. No AI slop in sight.

"A More Ethical Way to Perform?"

I've never read such a trivial consideration of ethics in the context of performance. Human actors reflect life with a unique ability to err continuously & randomly. Being crap makes you. Being IP as AI negates you.
