🎬 What a day at the Tees Valley International Film Festival!

Spent the day interviewing and chatting with some incredible filmmakers, actors and creatives, the energy here in the North East film scene is unreal.

Also managed to record a few brilliant Sound & Scope podcast conversations about the UK film festival circuit, acting, and everything in between with the amazing Stephen Tompkinson (Ballykissangel, DCI Banks) and Bill Fellows (Ted Lasso, Coronation Street).

Huge thanks to everyone who made today such a great experience, the passion, the stories, and the community up here just keep growing. 🎥✨

🎬 From on-set chaos to festival wins, this is how indie filmmaking goes off the rails… fast.
