Elf News! Sky Arts Award for Best Comedy and The Fly released today at 5pm!
Hello wonders!
So, bonkers.
There is much to update everyone on, from the sold out run of The Bird Trilogy at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, the amazing success of the artists I was lucky to direct, the launching of The Lyons Award for Tech at the (ISH) Awards in August and, of course, my TOP FIVE recs on what to see, hear, watch and read...
But in the meantime,
On Tuesday 16th September I was awarded the SKY ARTS AWARD FOR BEST COMEDY at the Roundhouse in Camden!
Absolutely blown away and honoured.
I will send out my Top Five next week alongside dates of new workshops and shows and gigs.
Yet, before then, something very exciting...
It would mean the world if you could watch it and share it.
If you follow me on Instagram it will be released at 5pm. Please share as the algorithm won't as it is longer than 2 minutes.
Me and Jack Carrivick filmed it on a shoe-string budget and I am so proud of this short film.
Inspired by Marcel Marceau’s The Hands, The Fly is the first in a short film trilogy of experimental horror, based off my one-woman clown horror show RAVEN.
I hope you enjoy it and thank you once again for subscribing to my newsletter and supporting what I do. It means the world.
With love
Elf

Huge congratulations on the Sky Arts Award win, mate! It is awesome to see experimental comedy getting that level of recognition. I love that The Fly was inspired by Marcel Marceau's The Hands using mime and physical movement as a foundation for horror clowning is such a fascinating angle. It really shows how visual storytelling and aesthetic concepts can completely shift the mood of a performance. Seeing how much thought goes into creative styling and visual presentation almost makes me think of how students dissect design principles in Fashion Assignment Help Australia modules, where every subtle movement or visual detail carries so much meaning. Really looking forward to seeing how the rest of this short film trilogy shapes up!
Massive congrats on the Sky Arts Award win, well deserved! It’s awesome to see The Fly finally out too, especially knowing it was pulled together on a shoestring budget with Jack Carrivick. The inspiration from Marcel Marceau’s The Hands sounds like such a cool foundation for experimental horror clowning. It actually reminds me of how creative constraints force you to innovate, whether you’re making a short film or trying to balance heavy uni workloads sometimes getting a bit of Professional Assignment Help Australia is what keeps a project afloat when time is tight. Really curious to see how the rest of this short film trilogy turns out. Definitely sharing the link to help bypass the algorithm!

I appreciated how this article grounded broader claims in specific, concrete examples throughout the entire discussion. The author avoided vague generalities, instead showing precisely how these ideas play out in practice. That specificity made the advice feel far more applicable than more abstract alternatives elsewhere online. To explore useful resources building on this, the piece points in some good directions. Thanks for such a specific and applicable piece.
I've added this piece to my own personal recommended reading list after finishing it earlier this week during a quiet afternoon. The author's explanations were clear enough that I didn't need to cross-reference anything else to follow the main argument. That clarity, paired with genuine depth, is a combination that's harder to find than it probably should be. I liked that the piece didn't shy away from acknowledging areas where the subject remains genuinely unsettled or debated. That honesty made the more confident sections feel considerably more trustworthy by comparison. This qualifies as recommended reading precisely because it treats readers as capable of handling real complexity. Thanks for such an honest and genuinely well-explained piece.
