I’m going to regret this as soon as I post it, but it’s time to pause Radiant Circus’ screen listings service. I'm putting the work on extended hiatus while I figure out how to revive & relaunch it. Read more in my post @Patreon (link in bio). Thank you for all your support. RCx

@tpaleyfilm Tony, I can’t thank you enough for your kind words, support and generous spirit. Until my plans resurface, I’ll finally have time to follow your # with the same enthusiasm you showed me 🙏

[Radiant Circus @radiantcircus]

@StowFilmLounge @Patreon Thank you so much for your support and collegiality throughout my time blogging in this space. Very much appreciated. I’ll keep in touch and share thoughts about future plans as they firm up 🙏

[Radiant Circus @radiantcircus]

@easternKicks Thank you so much!! I’m not done yet but doing the same thing repeatedly was leading to diminishing returns and I ran out of steam for essential activities like marketing… let’s see what happens next 🙏

[Radiant Circus @radiantcircus]

@nowolvesplease @Patreon Thank you Duncan. I don’t know if this is my One Direction moment or not, but future plans need time to brew (and listing alone was becoming exhausting).

[TOKEN HOMO @TokenHomo]

Our first ever Bar Trash MYSTERY FILM? is now locked & loaded...

... but what will it be?

I'll only reveal the title on the night when we press play, but rest assured... it's wonderfully strange, & very special.

Tony is being modest… his # is essential. But let’s also be realistic. Revenues to sustain this kind of work are extremely challenging. I’m taking a break from listing for August to rebuild and review. But I’m also exhausted…

[Tony Paley @tpaleyfilm]

Absolutely this. For rep films I make a modest contribution via https://t.co/I3qUGoOmtz and there’s the great work of @radiantcircus and @rep_cinema but if anyone wants to start a digital-only (Time Out-style) London listings ‘mag’ please holler!
