What an incredible weekend! Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support the Old Highstreet seeing so many of you wander through, chat, laugh, and explore honestly filled my heart. And a massive thank you to all of our amazing stall holders for bringing such good energy and making the whole market feel like its own little world. The vibes were immaculate all weekend long. 🧡

I’m still absolutely buzzing from getting to show off the Old Highstreet in all its charm, and it was such a joy to see so many lovely faces. You all made it unforgettable!

“It takes an army to do this stuff!” - David Fincher

It really does.

We’re in an age where the internet has over magnified the opinion of everyone, especially around filmmaking and creativity. But there’s a clear distinction between the ‘hustling grinding under-cutter’ and the real filmmaker. Most filmmakers aren’t here to be CEOs. We’re here to make our mark on culture. That task is not solitary, it’s collaborative on many levels.

More and more as time rolls on I understand the vital part that a solid team plays, and at any moment where #TheBirdwatcherFilm is announced for a festival I think immediately of my team… I think of how I just couldn’t have done it it without them. A director is the thin veil which determines what stays or what goes, but amongst the decisions and the crafting of the concept, there is the endless hum of those around the chief, turning decisions into actions.

We’re now deep within a time of tech bros telling everyone what creativity is, and most of the time it’s made to sound solitary by them (a clever grift). But anyone who is dedicated to the craft knows otherwise. We need connection, we need our people, and we need to keep fighting through false definitions designed to steal the soul of the medium. It requires a thick skin and a tunnel vision. It’s not determined by the sales people, the execs or the audience - it’s us on the ground. The crews. It has to be strong and true.

Thanks again to everyone in my camp; the people who have stuck with me through all the crazy ideas. And thank you to the recent new additions in the background, keeping me steady and feeding me the right words of encouragement through any turbulence. As a friend said to me the other day ‘I feel like we’ll be laughing in two years’. Here’s to that manifestation (even in these uncertain times). But more importantly, here’s to the crews - You’re the glue for so many parts of this craft and you’re amazing xx

The next festival announcement for The Birdwatcher drops very soon…

Repost • @ryancrashburn 19 years ago @GreenDay released Bullet In A Bible - The live show DVD. At the time I was just starting my journey as a filmmaker. I remember a load of people I knew were going to the Milton Keynes show and they came back with stories of how insane it was.

Flash forward 19 years - after many many live shows, docs and music videos - we walked into Wembley stadium. But not as punters, rather THE team capturing an incredible moment in a band’s career. Fate had decided that that band would be the same one I had heard about all those years ago at Milton Keynes. Green Day.

Watch. This. Space. Much love to all x

19 years ago @GreenDay released Bullet In A Bible - The live show DVD. At the time I was just starting my journey as a filmmaker. I remember a load of people I knew were going to the Milton Keynes show and they came back with stories of how insane it was. At the time I was figuring out in my own head how I was gonna become a filmmaker. I knew I wanted to make films but needed to expand my experience, so I formulated a plan to start filming gigs and to post them on social media platforms to grow an audience. It was the perfect chance to work alongside musicians who I admired that were carving their own path. I felt like it was mutually beneficial for us to work together and gain from the collaboration. What's more it never really felt like work, rather an insanely fun way to figure out who I was when I had a camera in my hand (when there was no budget).

A lot of the time the early jobs were self funded. Management and labels getting phone calls and emails from a random guy asking to work with their artist. They had much scepticism to why someone would want to work on something for free... Their scepticism generally was a mirror to the atmosphere within one of the world's most well known and notorious sectors of the entertainment industry. A nice guy funding a team of video people to film a band, and all he wants is to share it with people on the internet?! Surely not. Surely yes. Crashburn Productions was the name, which eventually morphed into the notorious 'Crashburn'.

Flash forward 19 years - after many many live shows, docs and music videos - we walked into Wembley stadium. But not as punters, rather THE team capturing an incredible moment in a band's career. Fate had decided that that band would be the same one I had heard about all those years ago at Milton Keynes. Green Day.

It has been an incredible year. So much fantastic stuff has come, and is coming. The success is largely in part also to the incredible team I have. I have to pinch myself to fully realise this is my day job. But I also feel as ever that this is just the beginning... The practise run is over. The hard work and craftsmanship begins now.

Watch. This. Space. Much love to all x

What…. a …. day…… What a TEAM. @ryancrashburn brings the team back together with many more brilliant new people too and it’s safe to say, we smashed it. 30k steps might just be a work record. Now I’m unemployed again so please 📞 me! #1stassistantdirector #2ndassistantdirector #wembley #greenday #livemusic #makingmemories
