Kathryn Georghiou tells us a story of her journey from a working class family from Blackpool to being an actress, writer and director in London. How to overcome obstacles that working class families have? How to start writing and directing?

Kathryn wrote and directed a short film called 'Changing Tides' that touches on a very personal topic of alcoholism in the family. In this episode she will tell you everything about the process of creating this film and how it affected her and let her rethink her past.
