Take 64 - Writer, director Nida Manzoor, We Are Lady Parts, Doctor Who
In an episode with two British voices, it was a pleasure to have writer and director Nida Manzoor join us on the podcast.
She tells us about the excitement and nerves of directing for British institution Doctor Who, turning down a chance to work on a Marvel show and bringing her show We Are Lady Parts to life.
She talks us through the process of both writing and directing, how she chooses her next projects and the challenges of achieving the level of representation she wants.
We talk about the differences between writing rooms in Britain and America, avoiding being pushed into writing Muslim stereotypes and penning superhero movies.
A fascinating interview with a rising star with a unique voice.
