Louise V Say started early in the navy. But she always knew she had a creative streak; that she was a storyteller. And with the leadership and resilience she had learnt in service, what better route to go than by implementing those skills as a producer? From there, she entered the theatre, then got her foot into documentary production, and has now produced several high-end drama series, including Shetland, Les Miserables, and Dracula. This is her fascinating story, and the stories she aims to tell.
Stick around until the end for our roundtable, where Lauren and Evita discuss the Oscar 2023 nominations and review the latest season of Ginny and Georgia.

From the Kenyan sensation "Rafiki" (2018, dir. Kahiu) to "The Gravedigger's Wife" (2021, dir. Ahmed) the first Somali feature film, Carmen is dedicated to bringing movies from the African Diaspora to UK audiences. But this is not an easy job, when the film market so heavily caters to one type of movie, to one type of person. This commitment to bringing communities together, to bringing people together through cinema, carries on through her work as a programmer and curator too. This is her story, and the stories she wants to share.
Listen to the end for our in-house roundtable discussion on the representation of love on screen, and the diversity (or lack of) within it.
