I was proud to be a signatory at the unveiling in Paris. Please read, think about the future without guard rails, and give this Commitment your support.

Hello Beijing! So pleased to be on the Jury for the Beijing International Film Festival Awards 2026 with the wonderful @JulietteBinoche @GabrielMascaro Bi Gan, Tran Anh Hung, Zhang Xiaofei and Zhang Yi. Quite astonishing opening ceremony!

Thank you so much to the @IFMCA Winning score of the year, composition of the year, and best sci-fi and fantasy score is rather awesome. I’ll go find something old and Scottish to celebrate with. 🥃🥃🥃 Simon

Thank you so much to the Movie Music UK awards 2025 for score of the year. I appreciate the level of detail put into the original review. This combined with the staggering quantity of scores that @mmuk64 listened to really makes this very special. moviemusicuk.us/2026/02/06/m…

This is lovely. Thank you so much to the @IFMCA for the four nominations for #AvatarFireAndAsh including score and composer of the year.

Look what came through the post…. LP test pressings of the album. They sound luscious. #AvatarFireAndAsh p.s. I know it’s only one LP. I’ll take it. Please refer all dreams of extended physical releases to @HollywoodRecs

I wanted to respond to the numerous posts, DMs, emails and pigeons over the past week. Thank you. The great thing about musical taste is it’s entirely subjective. I’m incredibly proud of the score for #AvatarFireAndAsh. I'm also proud that we put more work into the Los Angeles music community than any other single project in 2025; Disney / Lightstorm deserve applause. The box office continues to show Jim made something that helps keep cinemas open. Lastly: 6 weeks ago I had little interest in socials, zero Instagram, I was told I had to post stuff. While wandering around the NAMM show this week, I got approached by lots of people saying they’d learned something from these. That's great, if the content is useful, I’ll continue. I guess the millions of views across all media means something and I should take the hint. There is a down side: As I don’t have anyone managing my social media, it’ll remain as clunky as ever.

Avatar Music with @JimCameron in this section we discuss the background to the Varang and Quaritch’s Yurt Scene aka The Power Couple From Hell This is part of the 90 minute small celebration concert and music masterclass we had last week. Jim and I talking all things music. If theres enough interest I’ll post some more.

This barely touches the surface of what the editorial team have to deal with. Having sat in the room watching the editors work is awe inspiring #AvatarFireAndAsh
