What happens when your dream job finally starts to take shape – just as the industry falls apart?

In this debut episode of Creativity Isn’t Dead Yet, Jo Osborne talks to filmmaker John Perivolaris about what it really takes to stay creative in the UK film and TV world right now – especially if you're early-career, freelance, and far from home.

They get into:

• navigating the collapse of freelance work in 2023
• burnout, benefits, and being neurodivergent in an unsupportive system
• the ethics and practicalities of “expenses only” gigs
• trying to direct without a clear way in, or a family safety net

It’s honest, scrappy, and painfully relatable. A reminder that you’re not the only one trying to keep going.
