I am happy to share that my short story Hold has won the Oxford Flash Fiction Prize and will be published on 26 October.
You can read it here (it's very short!)

Goodbye to a master of cinema, Fred Wiseman. I once put up my hand at a Q&A and asked what he was trying to say in his movies - a reasonable enough question, I thought. He looked at me for a while the said, ‘if I could put it into words, I’d never have made the films’
@j_amesmarriott This is interesting, James, in the environment of writers building brands, and followers. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

David Lynch's death is a seismic loss. He added new channels of thought and emotion to the art of cinema. He influenced everyone, but no one could copy him because he was a truly great artist: he was entirely himself. No matter how strange, his movies felt true.
My short story Hold is now in print in 'Transformations: An Oxford Flash Fiction Anthology' and available wherever you buy books. Thank you to editor F.J Morris, Bodleian Libraries and The University of Oxford.
God bless Terence Davies. We will never forget you youtu.be/dOBrvXMU06w?si=i8T9…

8. So I bade my city farewell. As the plane took off the runway, I gazed down at the skyline I love so much for one last time. Should I have the fortune to ever return, I hope to still remain as I am: the same young man with these same beliefs. Glory to Hong Kong. THREAD ENDS.

1. #Beijing has just passed the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw. It marks the end of Hong Kong that the world knew before.
She was one of the greatest: Au revoir #AgnesVarda. Always remember her saying she didn’t mind people watching her films on laptops, lying on their backs, because like that they were closer to their hearts.

@AndrewLang you've done it again! It's the creepy 'Love Story' that's for @MovistarPlus from @YoungRubicam México that's already been awarded multiple times over. And now @TheWebbyAwards have voted it as Best Viral Film. Stunning work! bit.ly/2Hu2J3x
Hi Twitter, I'm back. Just like the @sultansofpingfc sang, "Jesus back on the streets again, back in a tracksuit, back in a tracksuit"
