We lost our main sales and marketing manager this week. His consistent attention to clients and biscuits was a wonder to behold. He will be simply irreplaceable and much missed by all.

It’s been a tough few years - particularly for freelancers who are the backbone of our industry.
So if you’re looking for a worthy cause to give a wee donation to this year, we hope you’ll consider Film + TV Charity.

Oh look another Timelapse. May come as a surprise to some but we’ve been doing this stuff a long time in the Nation of Scotland. But we don’t blow our trumpet about it, we just get on with it; like our amazing clients.

I’ve foolishly signed up, some months ago in a moment of drunken sincerity, to cycle from London to Donnington, with The Heavy Metal Truants ride. (https://heavymetaltruants.com/)

I neither like Heavy metal, or indeed cycling these days, if I’m honest. So if anyone can spare a quid or two(and I really mean a quid or two) I’d be ever so grateful; it would make my idiotic efforts all worthwhile.

In times like these it’s always the children who suffer the most and yet they are the ones least culpable for all the ills that affect them. If in some way we can make a small difference, then me heaving my cake and wine bloated gut 175 miles on a bone rattling old bike for a couple of days will be worth it.

If I survive and make it back home only to start playing Stairway to Heaven on my Classical guitar, please someone come and remove it from my black leather fingerless gloved hand. You can also take the sleeveless denim jacket whilst you’re at it.
