Let’s Talk Safety in the Film Industry:

Let’s Talk Safety in the Film Industry: The film industry can be an incredible space — creativity, collaboration, storytelling — all coming together to create something meaningful. It’s where ideas come to life and voices are amplified. But like any industry, it isn’t without its risks. And the truth is, recognising those risks early doesn’t just protect your career — it protects your wellbeing too. One of the clearest warning signs is a lack of transparency. When a production is vague about contracts, payment, roles, or expectations, that isn’t “creative freedom” — it’s uncertainty being normalised. You should always know exactly what you’re agreeing to, how you’ll be credited, and whether you’ll be paid. If those conversations are avoided, deflected, or rushed past, it’s worth asking why. Pressure is another red flag that often gets overlooked. Opportunities in this industry can feel rare, so when someone says “decide now or lose it”, it can be difficult to pause. But urgency like th...

Vlog update:

Vlog update ❣️ ( Correction *in MARCH ahaha 😂 ) I’ve just shared a new vlog where I talk about everything I’ve been working on lately — from upcoming projects and creative ideas to the magazines and community initiatives I’m involved in. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes at the moment, including future editions of Aycliffe Alternative Magazine, creative work through Kawaii Doll Decora, music with K•Doll, and the wider community projects I’m passionate about supporting. I thought it might be nice to put it all in one place so people can see what’s coming next and how these projects all connect to the bigger goal of building more inclusive, creative community spaces. If you’d like to follow the journey or get involved in future editions, feel free to have a read. 💫 https://kawaiidolldecora.uk/aycliffe-alternative — Sarah Wingfield Independent Disability Advocate  KawaiiDollDecora.uk Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6scx6w4IeXQXG4kKsYCbND?si=H-yuzZcBRyuyYQtLAU7LzA Ba...

Celebrating a Milestone:

Celebrating a milestone today. 🎬✨ It’s been over a year since I joined IMDb and started being involved in film projects, and what a journey it has been so far. From stepping into creative spaces, connecting with talented people, and exploring opportunities in the film world — it’s been exciting, surreal, and incredibly rewarding. As a disabled creator and advocate, stepping into industries like film can sometimes feel intimidating, but creativity has always been one of the ways I build community, tell stories, and challenge barriers. Here’s to more projects, more creativity, and more representation in the arts. The journey is only just beginning.

Hey everyone!! I hope life’s treating you kindly 💖 I’ve just hit 6.7k followers, so I thought it was the perfect moment to re-introduce myself. I’m Sarah Wingfield — a creator, advocate, writer, community organiser, and all-round creative dork. I work across disability advocacy, mental health, safeguarding, community projects, media, film, and creative storytelling, using my voice and platforms to challenge harm, amplify unheard voices, and push for real, meaningful change. I’m outspoken, I question what needs questioning, and I don’t shy away from difficult conversations. I know that means I’m not for everyone — and that’s okay. I’m here for people who value integrity, empathy, accountability, and the power of genuine community support. Thank you to every single one of you who chooses to be here. I hope to keep growing this space with more brilliant humans so we can continue supporting one another and turning compassion into action. Your favourite dork 🖤 Sarah Wingfield SarahWingfie...

City Rush 4 Wins October Award:

City Rush 4 Wins October Award for “Most Technically Excellent” at Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival 2025 I’m proud to share that City Rush 4 has received the October Award for “Most Technically Excellent” at the Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival 2025. This award recognises the technical craft behind the film — the precision, planning, and execution that go into making everything work cohesively on screen. It’s a category that highlights the often unseen work: cinematography, editing, sound, pacing, and the many technical decisions that shape the final result. This recognition belongs to the entire team. Film is never the work of one person, and City Rush 4 was a genuine collaborative effort. Every member of the cast and crew contributed skill, time, and professionalism, and this award reflects that collective dedication. Creating film is rarely easy. It requires adaptability, long hours, problem-solving, and commitment, often under pressure. To have that work...

Diamond Dogs (2025) Review – A Quirky, Chaotic British Heist Caper With Heart:

Diamond Dogs (2025) Review – A Quirky, Chaotic British Heist Caper With Heart A solid 7/10 stars! By Sarah Wingfield The heist movie has had many incarnations over the years—from the smooth precision of Ocean’s Eleven to the slapstick charm of The Pink Panther . But Diamond Dogs (2025), directed by Kris Smith and co-written with Joseph Betts , barrels onto the screen with a distinctly British flavour—equal parts crime caper, comedy of errors, and heartwarming ode to friendship. The story follows the legendary bromance of Paul Canterbury ( Nick Elliott ) and Rick Foster ( Andy Blithe ), whose cheeky banter and quick-fire one-liners carry the film from its slow-burn opening to its chaotic, diamond-studded finale. Their bond is instantly endearing: whether trading jabs about air fryers, stumbling through slapstick antics, or breaking into tangents mid-conversation (as we all know someone does), the duo feel refreshingly authentic. What sets Diamond Dogs apart from many low-budget heis...
