Alice Seabright is a writer and director. She directed eps 4 and 5 of Sex Education S2 before going on to create and show run the BBC1 / Amazon Studios series Chloe.
In this wide ranging and honest conversation, we cover everything from philosophy and mindset to interpersonal relationships on set, developing a visual language for a show, the nitty gritty of where a director should stand and how directors, DPs and operators work together, and the process of pitching, writing and setting up your own show as a showrunner.
