Meet the Makers: James Strong on Directing

Some of the UK’s leading film and TV practitioners share insights into their crafts in our lunchtime series, and answer the question: what do you do all day?

Meet the Makers is aimed at anyone who wants to work in the screen industries or simply wants to find out more about what goes on behind the camera. It offers an unprecedented opportunity to meet stellar filmmakers in an informal setting and there will be plenty of time to ask questions.

In this session, James Strong (Mr Bates vs. The Post Office) explores the role of director and discusses his work with Chris Chibnall.
