About I'm a film director and this podcast is my way of socialising.
I'm a film director. I love what I do. I love emotions. I struggle. I fail. I succeed. I love all of it, specifically all the people intersecting with my journey. After doing a few first episodes on my own, I thought it's much more engaging to remember the memorable moments with them together.
PS: I'm also a mom, a tattoo lover, a challenge seeker and I live in Germany... if you must know.
Today I’m talking to Darcy Weir, a documentary filmmaker. We released our films through the same distributor and I was extremely impressed with Darcy’s ability to promote his docs.

About Graham:
"Drawing storyboards is a richly rewarding experience for me. I visualise the written word from the script into cinematic storyboards. It is above all a communication tool of the Director`s vision for the production in terms of realising the narrative, composition/framing, lenses, lighting, stunts and vfx requirements. The drawings freeze lines, shapes light and visualises what the script can't describe in words."
GRAHAM WYN JONES B.A. (HONS) is an award-winning free-lance storyboard artist with 23 years of experience in the film industry. He has worked the full spectrum of the media, from major Hollywood studios such as Marvel & Disney, to low-budget independent films, high-end TV drama, commercials, games, music, corporate, documentaries and 4D animation. Graham has been invited to teach Art & Design, illustration, MA Media studies across the UK in his downtime.
