In this episode, Emily Garbutt speaks to Clodagh Chapman, the writer and director of First Kiss (With A Girl). Clodagh shares how the film explores a second adolescence that queer people experience, how you can make a film (even on your bedroom floor!) and the excitement of being early into her film career. A quote that resonated with Clodagh by Ng Choon Ping is "just because you're new to filmmaking, it doesn't mean you're new to storytelling." We love that one too!

First Kiss (With A Girl) screened at Women X Film Festival 2022.
