The Bride! director Maggie Gyllenhaal on her filmmaking style: “A movie that contains many interesting minds is going to be better than one that contains only mine - or one director’s mind. I’ve been on the other side, working with a director who was freaked out if I wanted to express something outside of what they imagined when they were alone in their room. I said, if I’m ever in that position I will never repeat that mistake - because it’s a mistake.”

These are the next generation of British composers. Remember them. Thank you to the National Film and Television School for setting up this masterclass. I had an amazing morning learning as much as I taught, I'm so looking forward to repeating this. #filmscoring @NFTSFilmTV

I’m gutted by this. Bill led the @NFTSFilmTV comedy course for years helping countless students find their foothold in a tough industry. Can’t believe he’s gone.
Legendary comedy super-producer Bill Dare has died. His credits include creating Dead Ringers and The Now Show, and his influence cannot be overstated. comedy.co.uk/people/news/826…

The @NFTSFilmTV could have been mistaken for a farmyard today as 12 children from @BCCNorthgate oink'd in excitement meeting our new Peppa Pig statue and celebrating her 20th Anniversary with cakes, balloons and party bags!
