In today’s episode Elaine and Misha chat with film director Georgi Banks-Davies. Georgi is inspiring and has filmed all over the world in various and extreme situations. Yet, still makes brilliant work and films with heart & soul. She is the lead director on the brand-new show from Sky Atlantic I Hate Suzie which starts on 27th August 2020. You will be able to watch all episodes from Friday the 28th August on Sky Atlantic and Now TV. We are so excited for this and when you hear Georgi talk about it you will be too, we’re sure.

Tv is about to change!
