I’m thrilled to share that I’ve written and will be directing a new short film: ‘GET IN’.
‘Get in’ explores the frailty of identity and tensions of inner conflict, expressed through a metaphorical lens in the form of a horror-mystery that leans towards the supernatural. #filmmaking #markryan #short

Sanctioned Russia and Belarusian wood being smuggled into UK, study suggests
Sanctioned Russia and Belarusian wood being smuggled into UK, study suggests
‘Chemical fingerprint’ shows 46% of wood samples certified as sustainable did not come from labelled country of origin
Nearly half of birch wood certified by leading sustainability schemes is misidentified and does not come from the labelled country of origin, according to new testing. The analysis raises fears that large quantities of sanctioned wood from Russia and Belarus are still illegally entering Britain.
New research by World Forest ID, a consortium of research organisations that includes Kew Gardens and the World Resources Institute, scrutinised the accuracy of dozens of harvesting-origin claims on birch products, which had almost entirely been approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) sustainability schemes.

(1.) David Lynch, a true visionary, has left us.
His work surpassed the boundaries of storytelling, painting vivid, surreal landscapes that will remain etched in my mind forever.
From ‘Blue Velvet’ and ‘Eraserhead’ to ‘Twin Peaks’, his genius will inspire generations to come.
