Joe Lycett's Pride Party on TV right now is why Channel 4 is so special. Wonderful stuff, no holding back, and feels fine-tuned to piss off the right kind of people.

Film festivals are so much hard work behind the scenes, but god does it become worthwhile when you hear an audience reacting well to a film you took a risk on, and when you get to meet the filmmakers you've been in email threads with for months and have a nice chat with them.

Working on a film festival can be so stressful at times, but that all completely pays off during the event itself where you get to meet the filmmakers you've been in email threads with for months and get to see people enjoying and talking about the films afterwards. It's lovely.

Just had the most heartbreaking 30 seconds of my life as I walked past the Norwich HMV and saw the shutters were down and the shelves were gone, and thought it was shut down, only to then notice it's just moved like 3 stores down & is now bigger. Truly an emotional rollercoaster.
