This very alarming statistic is shown at the beginning of David Jones’ new film. Having been injured myself in bed making (ok, it was my pride injured), I took an immediate interest! Men Can’t Make Beds is the story of a young man named Jay and his battle with the bed...

Worcestershire TV Filming
It seems like Worcestershire has been the centre of some filming this week.
The Worcester News reports that Susan Boyle was local in Broadway for a Christmas drama called Christmas Candle. It’s her first film and also stars Sylvester McCoy and Samantha Barks, it’s unclear if they were also in Broadway in the week, but it’ll be something to look out for, for the location if nothing else. The...

Animals by Muse Music Video →
This is a music video for Muse’s ‘Animals’ made by the sickeningly talented Lauren Hatchard. You’ll remember Lauren for Hotel Bardo and Dusted that we screened several times at our roadshow events.
If Lauren gets enough ‘likes’ and views, Muse may adopt this video as their official video and we think they should!

You can donate as little as £10 to support this film and based on the quality of Point of Regret, you know it’ll be a captivating watch. There are 30 days left to support this film, so...
