A non-spoilery conversation with writer and director Jessica Swale about her directorial debut Summerland AKA the movie where Gemma Arterton and Gugu Mbatha-Raw play girlfriends (yes, the romantic kind of girlfriends). 

We talk about her career transition from dance, to theatre, to film, the importance of un-white-washing history and the joy of writing unlikeable heroines.
