We made it! Episode 1 of the new season of The Directors Take is available NOW on all platforms. This week’s episode is with TV legend Angela Griffin who discusses her going from acting to directing Waterloo Road, which was recorded live with @RTSNW at the season 16 premiere!
Season 3 is coming but we need a new look.
I’m as highly trained as you can be in this country, I’ve done the most elite training schemes the UK has to offer, but I’ve not had a directing job yet and it’s financially unsustainable for me to exist in this industry… I’m only here because of ingenuity, passion and faith.
Loved this from @chocuz 🎬 So many of us pursue TV & film even when it makes no financial sense—because we love it. But should it really take this much risk? The UK industry could thrive with the right investment—so why aren’t we making it more accessible?
