My dear friends in the United States, many of you will be delighted with today's results for your preferred candidate. Spare a thought for the political opposition; you all must live with one another and work together to manage your differences, so that the bitterness which divided the campaign does not turn into four years of suffering and conflict for everyone. Good luck, my friends!

For those seeking a break from politics and an escape into the arts of horror filmmaking, here is a place where politics are left at the door. https://www.patreon.com/britishhorrorstudio?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator

One of the things I must urge everyone working to build their publicity and profile—especially on platforms like Instagram—is: DO NOT buy fake followers. I’ve seen people do this, including some I know, and it’s a terrible mistake.

Sponsors and companies (including our own) don’t just look at total follower counts; we look at engagement. Having 100,000 followers but only 40 likes? That does more harm than good! If your likes look inflated with no comments or just one-word responses, it can appear fake too.

I know it’s tough to grow your profile the right way while also producing content and paying for legitimate promotion on platforms like Meta or Twitter. It’s definitely a pain, but there are no shortcuts. Authentic engagement is what truly counts!

I often confront online bullies who use film social media sites to target indie filmmakers—and what I’ve noticed is they’re ALWAYS far more thin-skinned than the filmmakers they aim to tear down. After very politely calling out one ‘prominent’ example of this, they deleted my comments (while conveniently leaving their own). Fortunately for them… there’s a transcript.

If you’re on Letterboxd, it would mean a lot if you’d read through the interaction and show your support with a like. Together, we can take a stand against this kind of behavior.

As an independent filmmaker, I welcome feedback, but sometimes a line is crossed into bullying, as seen in recent interactions with BloodSpiller on this platform. His comments about Ghost Crew were openly dismissive, calling our revival of Amicus a ‘marketing ploy’ and belittling the effort behi...

This is a prime example of the hyper-sensitivity of trolls or those who use film review sites to express a little rage, bitterness, and perhaps even jealousy. I rarely respond to such comments, but I’d encourage you to check out my response—because it highlights just how sensitive some individuals can be… once they’re called out.

This is my second Lawrie Brewster film aka the new adventures of Amicus aka the British Horror Studio. I'm dumbfounded why someone would pay for the rights to the Amicus name only later to rebrand it as the British Horror Studio. Seems a little Elon to me. I barely remember the first film I watched....
