In this episode, Łucja sits down with Lois Tallulah, actress, director, and founder of Shorties, a platform dedicated to elevating female and non-binary filmmakers. Lois shares her unexpected path into the creative industries, from initially resisting acting to discovering her identity as a Cockney performer and eventually carving out her own place behind the camera.

Together, they explore:

• How working-class artists navigate an industry built on privilege
• Why Lois founded Shorties and how it has grown into a thriving community
• The importance of representation that isn’t tokenistic, but lived and grounded
• What it means to create work that challenges gender roles, stereotypes, and creative gatekeeping
• The power of collaboration, mutual support, and creating your own opportunities when doors stay closed

This candid conversation is about identity, class, creativity, and the courage to build what doesn’t yet exist. Lois’s journey shows how much can change when diverse storytellers have the space, and the platform, to speak in their own voice.
