PGP / SPD My story:

The Briefcase: Every person working on a script should have a lockable briefcase! 🎬🕵🏻‍♀️ Not only does it make you feel like you're some kind of secret agent (which I'm absolutely embracing 😂), but it's also an amazing way to keep your work organised and take it wherever you go. Now I just need a few power suits to complete the look! 😆 Joking aside, this has been perfect for the movie script breakdown I'm currently working on. Everything has its place, and because it expands, there's plenty of room to add more documents as the project grows. As an autistic person, staying organised really helps me. Having everything together means I can easily pick up where I left off without feeling overwhelmed, which makes such a difference when working on larger creative projects. A huge thank you to my Dad for thinking of me and giving me this brilliant briefcase. 🥹❤️ I'm genuinely so grateful. It's going to take a little while to finish the script breakdown, but I...

The Truth about my false community protection notice: Since those targeting me are sharing my documents under false pretences - I decided to be brave enough to clarify: I couldn't do a video interview about one of my experiences of sexual assault because I was worried about retaliation. I didn't feel protected from that risk, and I stand with all survivors. 💜💜💜 I tried to seek help from a local support group, but in my experience they breached a verbal agreement between the police, the group and myself to remain impartial regarding another incident. After I left, I believe some members were encouraged by the group's facilitator to make false allegations about me, which led to an unsigned and undated Community Protection Notice being issued. That notice has since expired, yet people who have been targeting me online continue to circulate it under false pretences. What is particularly upsetting is seeing people repeat claims without understanding the circumstances. The inf...

Remember: Growth starts with accountability. I have never been diagnosed with, or experienced, paranoia. I also experience no side effects from my prescribed medical cannabis, none, which I use exactly as directed to manage chronic pain. My treatment is well documented and monitored by the medical professionals involved in my care. Ignorant assumptions are part of the problem. When someone leads with assumptions instead of curiosity, facts rarely change their mind because they weren't interested in the facts to begin with. Yes, I'm still annoyed about yesterday. I'm human, and I'm doing my best. That's all any of us can do. Sometimes it's okay to admit you got something wrong. I know I do. I'm proud I fix myself when I'm the issue and when others don't want resolution, like I do - I step away. Accountability means caring enough to reflect, apologise when necessary, and do better.  An apology isn't just words; it includes changed behaviour.  Real...

Outgrowing Pains: No one tells you about the part of healing and self-growth that hurts. As you grow, you outgrow people who are illogical, lack self-awareness and enable poor behaviour without accountability. You lose a lot, but you also gain so much. I can no longer stand with people who support those targeting others. I no longer tolerate gaslighting, victim blaming or people defending those who invade someone else's lane instead of holding them accountable. I have a strong support network now. I have amazing friends, and there are far more decent people in my life than those who choose negativity. The old abusive rhetoric that the person being targeted must somehow be the problem, while ignoring facts and evidence, is an ugly mindset. I've experienced a lot of abuse, yet I haven't run to admins complaining about people. I let people show me who they are and place them where they belong. If someone is toxic, they don't belong in my life. Imagine believing you're ...

There Are No Vacancies for Abusers in My Life: I get rid of one stalker, and another seems to appear. Cyberstalking and online harassment are becoming frighteningly common, and I am absolutely done expecting people who repeatedly violate boundaries to suddenly develop self-restraint or self-control. People who knowingly continue behaviour that causes fear and distress are responsible for that choice. Anyone newly fixated on monitoring, discussing or targeting me can remain obsessed if that is what they choose. It is strange, unhealthy and entirely their responsibility. I do not know most of the people who repeatedly watch or discuss me. I do not want to know them, meet them or communicate with them. That will never change, regardless of how persistent they become or how often they try to pressure me into unblocking or meeting them. Stalkers frequently convince themselves that everything another person posts must somehow concern them. They then invent explanations to portray their monit...

Behind the Screams: The Work Nobody Sees Before a Film Exists: When Peter King brought some ideas for a movie to me I put him in touch with Mike Davies and this movie script was born. People often watch a film and judge the finished product in two hours. What they rarely see are the months—or even years—of work that happen long before a single scene is filmed. One of my current projects with Mike Davies is The Scream Team Reunion. At the moment we're breaking the script down scene by scene, analysing every page to understand exactly what will be needed before we even think about crowdfunding. This isn't the glamorous side of filmmaking. It's spreadsheets. Prop lists. Location planning. Character analysis. Costume requirements. Risk assessments. Budget forecasting. Scheduling. Equipment. Special effects. Insurance. Accessibility. Contingency planning. Every single page of a screenplay has to be translated into practical reality. How many actors are in the scene? How many ext...
