More pictures from the WeAreDN 2026 Awards last week.
Considering @directorsnotes has been going for 20-years, there are very few photos of @marbelle and I together.
We always joke that we're more at home behind a computer screen, but you'll find us at every festival, talk or event that we can afford to attend. If you see us at one, please come say hello - we love to talk about film, it's the reason Directors Notes exists in the first place.

🏆 DN Awards 2026 + 20th Anniversary Celebration 🎉
Last night we held our annual WeAreDN awards, which was made even sweeter by the fact that it was also a celebration of 20-years of @directorsnotes
Almost 20-years ago now, the one and only @marbelle
reached out and asked if I wanted to be part of this new platform he was setting up. I obviously said yes and 20-years later that decision has shaped my whole career (I probably would have gone back to pushing trollies at Asda).
We've come so far in that time and the WeAreDN awards allow us a chance to get together with the people love and celebrate the incredible community we've built over the last two decades.
Thanks to everyone who came, thanks to the incredible @sezonlyknows for all the event wrangling and bingo calling and thanks to everyone who helped DN on its journey.
For people who spend far too much time behind a computer screen this IRL event is everything to us. We can't wait until next year.

Really enjoyed dipping into the @cardiffanimfest line-up for @directorsnotes 🎬
If you’re heading to the festival this week, you’re in for a treat - there’s so much great work in the programme.
For DN, I picked 10 shorts that really stood out to me and completely grabbed my attention. Give them a look if you’re planning your schedule 👀

Whenever someone outside the film world asks what I do, I usually fumble the answer. “Managing Editor at Short of the Week” only lands if you already know it, and “short film programmer” is… pretty niche.
But thanks to a new survey from UCSB researchers Madeleine Gross & Jonathan Schooler, I’ve got a better answer:
“I expand minds.”
Read more about the study: https://linktr.ee/_robmunday
“The case isn’t closed, but with evidence like this, the idea that art expands the mind is starting to look less like a metaphor—and more like a measurable psychological effect.”

Excited to be heading back to the mountains this June for @ourayfilmfest 🏔️🎬
Honoured to be presenting the very first @shortoftheweek award at a festival - a big moment for SotW and for me personally.
Couldn't be happier that this is happening with OIFF - Can’t wait to be back in Colorado in the summer ✨
🏔️What happens when the film industry slows down?
At the @ourayfilmfest Sabbatical, filmmakers, critics, and programmers spent four days in the Colorado mountains stepping away from the daily grind to reflect on collaboration, community, and the pressures shaping creative work today.
Fresh from his time in the mountains, S/W's @_robmunday explores how this retreat-style gathering is challenging the productivity-driven culture of filmmaking - and why spaces for rest and conversation might be vital to the future of the industry.

These have been some of my views from the last week, as I travelled into the mountains of Colorado for the inaugural @ourayfilmfest sabbatical.
It's an experience I can't recommend enough if you work in the film industry and are looking to replenish your energy banks and shift your perspective.
It's hosted by some of the most wonderful people in the world (although I didn't take pictures of any of them!) in one of the most unique locations I've ever been.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
