What lies behind the spotlight of awards and critical acclaim? Multi-award-winning filmmakers Joanna Natasegara and Andy Mundy-Castle lift the lid on what success really means.
In this candid conversation, Academy Award-winning producer Joanna Natasegara (The Dating Game, The Edge of Democracy, Virunga, The White Helmets) reflects on her journey to becoming one of the most acclaimed producers in documentary today, and the ongoing challenges that recognition does not always solve. In conversation with fellow BAFTA-winning filmmaker Andy Mundy-Castle (White Nanny, Black Child, The Fade, Shoot The People), they will explore the complexities of ‘success’ – from navigating recognition that doesn’t always lead to security or opportunity, to staying true to purpose while facing financial, creative and industry pressures. It’s a rare chance to hear first-hand what it really takes to build and sustain a career in independent documentary.
Speaker: Joanna Natasegara (Producer, Violet Films)
