  • Victoria Mapplebeck
    May 30 2021
    My guest this week is multi-platform artist, and BAFTA winning producer and director Professor Victoria Mapplebeck.

    For the last two decades, Victoria has experimented with the frontiers of documentary and creative technology, focusing on telling stories in small intimate spaces.

    Her first smartphone short 160 Characters won Best Documentary at the 2017 Short of the Week Film Awards. Her follow up doc Missed Call, filmed on an IPhone X, picked up a BAFTA and a Broadcast Digital Award.

    In 2019, The Waiting Room - a VR project that captured her experience of breast cancer from diagnosis to recovery won the IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling.

    During the podcast we discuss the highs and lows of making autobiographical work, finding the perfect editor, and the importance of humility when making documentary films.

    We also explore the evolution of texting, the power of voice mails and how best to bring both forms of communication to life on screen.

  • Jayisha Patel
    May 16 2021
    My guest this week is Jayisha Patel, an award winning filmmaker who works at the intersection of cinematic film and VR. In 2020, Jayisha was hailed by Screen Daily as one of the Stars of Tomorrow and her films have premiered at Sundance, the New York Film Festival and the Toronto International Film festival.

    Her first short film, A Paradise, was nominated for 37 international awards. Her film Circle was nominated for a student BAFTA, and her first VR experience Notes to My Father, won the UN Women’s Global Voice Award for Best 360 film.

    Jayisha seeks to give a platform in particular to women of colour who are fighting stereotypes, in bold and unconventional ways.

    We discuss the importance of working with local crews, what it takes to embed as a filmmaker within a different cultural community, and how to make sensitive and thoughtful films in challenging circumstances.

    We also discuss power dynamics, and how to work out if you are qualified to tell a particular story or not.
