Planning a future film collaboration with #AyviannaSnow... A wonderful afternoon spent at the beautiful Winter Garden Restaurant planning a future collaboration with actor/producer Ayvianna Snow to bring a Weeping Bank tale to the screen. As they say, watch this space...
Great catchup this week with the in-demand @bronteschiltz.bsky.social. As well as writing for The Big Issue, she’s the go-to for all things Gothic in pop culture, recently contributed to the Comma Press 'Monster Capital' anthology & somehow still finds time to support Weeping Bank. 🖤
