Today’s guest is writer-director Francis Lee, whose debut feature film GOD’S OWN COUNTRY premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival where it won the World Cinema Directing Award. Francis shares how he made his first feature film in his 40s, how he writes his screenplays in a word document, the importance of creating a soundscape, keeping your crew small, and how he convinced Kate Winslet to star in his second feature, AMMONITE. Francis Lee’s short film, “Bradford Halifax London”, screened at the Slamdance Film Festival in 2013.
