Today I was digging through my Google Drive, and I found this completely blank doc from Dec 31, 2022. Glad I finally got around to writing it! 🎄💀 #scriptsky #writing
I'm struggling to get online traction for my latest short, so I'm posting it anywhere I can. Let's hope LinkedIn likes animated horror shorts! 🤞 #film #animation #horror #filmsky
BTW - working on a short horror script about being a cat owner! It's super relatable... I promise. 😸 #scriptsky #writing #horror
Wow wow wow Yulecide is a quarterfinalist in the Script Pipeline Screenwriting Contest! That's a pretty short list, and I'm incredibly honored to be on it with my messed-up little Christmas horror rom-com. 🎄💀🫶 🎁 scriptpipeline.com/winners 🎁 #scriptsky #screenwriting
One day… I shall come back. But probably not with my own CBeebies show, because sadly they did not ask me to make it. 💀
Laptop vs. lap cat. The struggle is real. #scriptsky #cats #catsofbluesky #catsky
Let’s do this! Here are the first three pages of YULECIDE, my Hallmark-meets-horror feature. It’s frightfully festive. 🎄💀 #scriptsky #firstpagefriday #horrorsky
Everyone's talking about indie horror on YouTube... but what about indie ANIMATED horror on YouTube? 👀 VHX played at some fantastic horror film festivals, and now it’s online, collecting dust. 💀 Here's a little taste. Please give it a watch! 📼 #filmsky #horrorsky #film #indiefilm #animated
✨🎄Hallmark Christmas romance but make it horror 😱✨ I said I'd post more... so that's the feature script I've been working on this year. It's called Yulecide. 🔪🎅 #scriptsky #screenwriting #writing #horror
Here's a clip from my new short! It's the most DIY film I've made, and it also played at the best fests. 📼✨ These are real VHS tapes from eBay. The eyes are metal discs and magnets. The mouths are foam and beeswax. Watch it here: youtu.be/vTobaYbKkKM?... #filmsky #animation #stopmotion
Spending this rainy weekend rigging a character for a fun li'l animated thing I swear I will finish soon and not spend too much time on. 🥣🔪👀 #animation #2Danimation #aftereffects #shortfilm #WIP
Choo choo, wankers! VHX is heading to @chattfilmfest.bsky.social! See ya there! 📼🚂 #chattfilmfest25 #GoDieAI
Update... VHX won Best Lo-Budget Short Film! Definitely the coolest award I've ever gotten at a fest. Thank you @londonshortfilm.bsky.social! 👏👏👏
What a year for films and festivals! Hard to believe I had two films playing at fests in 2024. Spiral to the Center wrapped up its fest fun then VHX kicked off its own just a couple months later! What will 2025 bring? Keep an eye out! 👀✨ #indiefilm #stopmotion #animation #horror
Today marks 10 years (!!!) since the release of my favorite Doctor Puppet video. I could say so much about The Planet That Came For Christmas. It was a true team effort that came together so beautifully. 🖤🖤 youtu.be/0Ak4B0nhNzk?... #doctorpuppet #doctorwho #petercapaldi #stopmotion #animation

I finally deleted my account from the ✨other✨ place. Now where are all the indie animators and filmmakers at? 👋 Here's a still from my new stop motion short, VHX! #animator #filmmaker #stopmotionanimation #newtobluesky #hello
