  • Summary

  • In Episode 11 of Vision & Graft I'm talking to Emily Carlton, a screenwriter, journalist and producer who is also one of the cofounders of the Breaking Through The Lens initiative that connects female and non-binary filmmakers to finance at film markets. Emily is so humble and amusing in the way she discusses her career that her honest take on her freelance life is one I highly recommend listening to. In the episode Emily and I discuss the themes of mental health and her interest in people in her screenwriting work as well as where she finds her inspiration as a writer. We also discuss the challenge Emily has had having dyslexia as a writer and the skill of knowing when to stop working on a project and to move on to the next. Emily shares her process of getting an agent and the long path to acquiring one before we chat about the challenge of poor pay at the start of a creative career and how to balance doing what you love with paying the bills. Finally we go on to discuss Breaking Through The Lens and the reason why she started the initiative as well as her passion for equality. During the break I announce a competition I'm running alongside Rosco to win a Rosco MIXBOOK Digital Swatchbook. Full T&Cs are available at visiongraft.com Vision & Graft aims to inspire action, give hope, build resilience and normalise the discussion of mental health issues within creative sectors as well as more widely throughout society. --- Emily Carlton Instagram | @emilycarltoncarlton Emily Carlton Website | emilycarlton.net Breaking Through The Lens Website | breakingthroughthelens.co.uk RWP Website | rwpreisner.com RWP Instagram | @rwpreisner RWP Photography Instagram | @rwp_incompany --- Disclaimer: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
