About

Documentary series following six award-winning directors on set, talking about their approach to film and their life's work. This episode by the brilliant Charlie Sever looked at Mira Nair's career, beginning with blurring the lines of documentary and fiction through Salaam Bombay! and Monsoon Wedding through to the recent big-budget Disney film Queen of Katwe.

I also put together short film versions - including this one on Mike Leigh - for the BBC Culture website and Facebook, which each amassed around five million views.
