108 - From DJ To Film Producer - the rise & rise of Amy O'Hara

We sit down with Amy O'Hara, Development Executive at Warp Films - the Sheffield-based production company behind Adolescence, Dead Man's Shoes, Four Lions, This Is England and some of the most important British films ever made.Amy's career has taken her from DJing at Sheffield's legendary Threads nights, to Film4, the BFI, and now back home to Warp. We talk about how she broke into the industry, what it takes to get a film off the ground, the threat of AI to storytelling, why cinema isn't dead yet - and a very exciting hint at what's coming next from Warp. And we pitch her a few film ideas. She was very patient about it.-------------Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.
