Sorry about the audio quality on this one! As is sometimes the case with remote interviews, the quality can be hit or miss.
But we didn't want you to miss out on this fantastic and insightful conversation with our talented guest!
In this episode, we sit down with the brilliant Sydonie Calvert.
Sydonie shares her love for creating complex characters, what it’s really like working in kids' TV, and her not-so-glamorous experience of being on set at a pig farm!
We chat about why teamwork in film is non-negotiable, how a strong script is the backbone of any good production, and why you should never ignore a note.
Expect laughs, lightbulb moments, and some seriously good advice!
