POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

THROUGHOUT THE YEARS

Some from the beginning, now, and in between. Grew up along side the aspect ratio apparently

A lot of early work has been lost to time, a 15 year soft hiatus and not all footage from what’s coming is available to at the moment (Ginny & Georgia and several movies in 2027!)

Keep writing more chapters kids…

Our lil neon-soaked menace of a short film, B Side, has been nominated for a New York Independent Cinema Award.

Naturally, I’m diggin’ through old stills from early cuts + original conceptual art for the film’s poster + reminiscing about the tremendous amount of affection I will forever have for the beautiful lunatics who make things out of nothing.

Thank you to the New York Independent Cinema Awards for the nomination + the cast + crew who birthed this vibrant gremlin into existence.

bb’s first hat trick 🎩🎬

B Side’s all grown up + goin to New York 🌆🥂

the New York City Lift-Off Film Festival 2026, that is.

We’re officially part of the Trendsetter Shorts Programme, which means B Side gets to spend the next month hangin out alongside filmmakers from all over the world while audience votes and jury scores decide who advances to the Network Round Final (aka another opportunity for us to screen at Pinewood Studios in London, UK, where my lifelong fantasy of sipping shaken vespers whilst wandering through the birth-stages of Bond cinema continues to aggressively manifest itself 🍸).

Deeply grateful this film keeps finding people + thrilled it gets another home, another audience, another conversation… in NEW YORK, NEW YORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK. 🎶

This is me lovingly placing my lil psychological gremlin into the world + asking: if you have a moment, I’d be ridiculously grateful if you watched and maybe even tossed us a vote (link in bio).

Plz also sound off once more for the absolute menace-to-normalcy group of artists who rallied around me and somehow turned this glitter-bomb of a short film into a real thing on real screens with real people watching it. I remain unreasonably delighted about it. 💫

Sometimes the smallest interruption changes everything. Buzzard follows a man on the edge and the last person he expected, a teenager working a door-to-door scam.
