Taken from UK Producers Roundtable Report: 82% of BAFTA nominated/winning producers earned less than £15k a year during the past five years. Tells you everything re: lack of diversity. Who can afford to do that? Systemic change needed.

Park Chan Wook was woke before woke was a thing.

Re-watching 'The Silence Of The Lambs', I'm struck that basically every interaction Clarice has with a male colleague is some combination of leering, lecturing and intimidation. Demme's direction implies that by the time she encounters Lecter, he scarcely registers as an anomaly.

@Katiew552 Embrace the new. Your brain can only assess things using info from what has gone before. Therefore we always overthink/are disproportionately anxious about doing something new. (Also people will tell you that the best things that happened in life weren’t in the plans they made).

Ouch

[Squad Walk Films @squadwalkfilms]

We had a brilliant time with a group of fantastic and talented people

[Squad Walk Films @squadwalkfilms]

Absolutely true. If more men recognised this we might see change.

[Squad Walk Films @squadwalkfilms]

@IssitaLopez @IssaRae Ooops. Bloody autocorrect.

[Squad Walk Films @squadwalkfilms]

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK. We stan @IssaRae and her effortlessly visceral magic realism. Often in film when the otherworldly feels convincing the real life stuff doesn't. In her work the reality is just as scary and we love it.

A little thread from Director Sandy Thomson about something that came up on our latest shoot. More to come about other members of our terrific team.

[Sandy Thomson @Poorboy_stories]

On last week's shoot I met a talented and very busy focus puller who explained very clearly to me why placements and apprenticeships replacing people with experience in camera crew is setting individuals up to fail and feeds directly into the rate of attrition. He's doing 1/?

@theatre_fox @Poorboy_stories @MsLouiseOliver We’re all a bit obsessed by colour. The pic was taken by cast member Joey Locke who also has an eye for colour.

[Squad Walk Films @squadwalkfilms]

@robmyles @Poorboy_stories @MsLouiseOliver It is! What a location.

[Squad Walk Films @squadwalkfilms]

Goal achieved. Huge thanks to the many talented, relentlessly committed and capable individuals who made this week such a wonderful experience and the resulting film so fantastic. We appreciate you and the onset culture we all created.

[Helen Simmons ✨ @HelenSimmons8]

Also, I feel very proud that last night so many HODs/crew came up to us producers and said how unusual this shoot was because they felt like we really cared about them. All you can hope for really!! ❤️❤️

This is the goal.

This bears out what I heard from the showrunners at the brilliant @The_Writers_Lab & Ravenal Foundation In the Room: Women in TV event last night. Writing a great script is key - and so it should be. But making someone's day because they love what you've written is a great goal!

[Samantha Horley @SamanthaHorley]

So I promised some cold hard truths to writers about submitting scripts to execs. Buckle up, this is gonna be bumpy. #scriptchat

The first thing to say is that they assume it’s going to be shit. Sad isn’t it? The fact is that most scripts are. Even the packaged* ones.

[Sandy Thomson @Poorboy_stories]

With my @squadwalkfilms hat on I’m looking at our screenplay about the witch trials with its narrative arc about a late miscarriage - because we understood the link between religious teaching, Hale & dehumanising women but we are stunned it’s now more hideously relevant than ever

Writing research in Scotland is next level. This weekend one of us is walking a seven mile haunted medieval coffin road leading from the shores of a loch, over the hills to a hidden church. Because atmospheric *writes itself* here.
