In this episode Mark talks to returning guest, writer-director Carol Morley about her new coming-of-age feature 7 MILES OUT premiering at BFI London Film Festival. The only British film in competition, it is adapted from Carol’s celebrated semi-autobiographical novel of the same name.

They discuss Carol’s journey into filmmaking, including discovering Florence Pugh, the making of 7 MILES OUT, and what’s next for her.
