My guest this week is BAFTA nominated producer Elhum Shakerifar. Her multi award winning credits include The Reluctant Revolutionary, The Runner, A Syrian Love Story, Even When I Fall, Almost Heaven, Island, Of Love & Law, A Northern Soul and Ayouni.

In addition, Elhum has received a multitude of accolades as a producer over the years and continues to work innovatively to bridge the gap between UK festival visibility and distribution.

We talk about her unconventional route into the world of producing, the importance of inclusivity and visibility in storytelling, the myriad challenges facing producers when working in precarious situations, as well as the importance of defining what success means to you as a filmmaker.
