I've read over 100 screenplays as a script reader for the Raindance Film Festival Screenplay Competition. Here's what I want screenwriters to know before they submit. Coverfly raindance.org/what-a-script-…

Ok if you’re getting me started on male writers in script competitions. Scripts are anonymised but I can tell a writer is a man when descriptions go “Man (55, strong) looks towards an older woman (40 but still looks good)”. Exhausting to read.

Honestly the new season of #SexEducation had no right to give me so many feelings. A healthy reminder that teenage years are an awful mess, and it’s all downhill from there.

Delighted to have been at the screening of Dante or Die’s Skin Hunger documentary. What a moving piece of theatre and inspiring film.

The amazing Dante or Die have released their documentary about “Skin Hunger”, their first performance after lockdown. A really moving and inspiring watch. youtu.be/R5e9hgVl8x8

I hosted an actual panel today without having to say “You’re on mute!” A potent conversation about improving mental health awareness and practices in the film industry. Thank you Lucy Tallon @Longersblade Natasha Moore for contributing and Raindance Film Festival for having me back.

Listening to Sunday in the Park and opened my browser to find today’s Google doodle… #sundayforsondheim

Screened “God’s Own Country” for students today and I got to interview Francis Lee after. He’s got so much insight to give, it was such a marvellous moment.

What a great, thought-provoking evening at the Musée d'Orsay for the anniversary of Villa Albertine. Gaëtan Bruel

Today I got to interview Guillermo Del Toro and Mark Gustafson about their Pinocchio, the creative process, and life as a filmmaker. Absolute inspiration.

I had an amazing time at Wilton's Music Hall last night seeing Mark Farrelly’s “Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope”. An extraordinarily moving look at a singular life, and a cathartic piece about loneliness and living authentically.

Magnificent night listening to Elton John yesterday. What an icon.

What a surreal time. Listening to Martin Scorsese talk about film and filmmaking was equal parts humbling, educational, inspirational. BFI edgarwright #LFF

I met Sir Tom Stoppard outside Hampstead Theatre last night. He’s my absolute literary hero. He was so kind and generous in the couple of minutes he gave me, and I’m still pinching myself I got to express my admiration.

I went along to see JabThePlay yesterday, what a wonderfully well-made play. Congrats Scott Le Crass & James McDermott 🌈! Catch it while you can.

London is so pretty.

A wonderful articulation of what the loss of Paul Auster means. I read “The Brooklyn Follies” at 16 for my English class back in France and it remains one of the most formative books in my life.

One of my favourite plays ever, definitely my favourite Stoppard - can’t wait.
