  • A small screening on the isle of Rum

    I haven’t posted for a while but I thought I would report back on a lovely screening of the film we had on the Isle of Rum on Friday evening. It was somehow fitting to screen on Rum as the island occasionally features on the film just over my left shoulder. The screening was really…

  • Time by Sam Spreckley

    I thought I would share this lovely short film called Time by Sam Spreckly also showing at the Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition in the same programme as Stay the Same.

  • Some reflections

    I have been meaning to write for a while and reflect on the whole experience of finishing and showing this Stay the Same.

This is what they had to say: “Filmmaker Sam Firth filmed herself in the exact same spot at precisely the…

    I thought I would share another review of Stay the Same written for the film4 blog by Simran Hans which is a lovely description of the film.  She writes . . “While it was composer Fraya Thomsen who was nominated by Underwire (and won) for the stirring music she wrote to accompany Sam Firth’s Stay…

  • A lovely evening at Swedenborg House

    On Friday night I was at the Swedenborg Short film festival which was a really nice evening. There were some really interesting films about our relationship with nature, existentialism and mysticism and the soul and I will definitely be going back to the festival. Stay the Same got a special commendation from the festival in…
