Late in posting this, but this is the trailer for a series I've been part of making for the last year and a half - Walking with Dinosaurs. Nice to finally have it out there! youtu.be/VAVp_1-Aqc8?si=Ynme…

@AbbeyHeffer Hi Abbey, interesting content. I think you might enjoy Still the Enemy Within. A documentary that outlines a key moment in British history, which helped push society down a much more authoritarian path. youtu.be/wJF67Ma9VRs
This clip from a film I made a few years ago about the 1984 miners strike, feels quite pertinent to our current #energy predicament youtu.be/WY2VjRbXO9U

Incredibly proud that Burn on Arrival has been selected to screen at the world renowned @SDFilmFestival alongside some incredible films. Sadly I won't be able to part of the glitz and glam in person but doing a virtual q&a. More details here: sdfilmfest.com/filmprograms/

Burn on Arrival dir by @owengower84. Christmas, 1995. As Scotland reels from a devastating loss of industry, a man is forced to follow a series of bizarre and deadly instructions contained in red envelopes. Find out more: glasgowshort.org/glasgow-sho…

@Keir_Starmer It's antisemitic to conflate Jewish people with the state of Israel. So why is Maxine Peake talking about the Israeli secret service (based on an Amnesty report) now deemed antisemitic? Conflating the two is exactly what you're doing. #rebeccalongbailey
