Most of us would barely be able to think about an idea that could become a screenplay, never mind go ahead and write one. Not to mention the challenges in directing, or composing a score or editing a movie. Thomas Clay, on the other hand, did all of the above, as he presents Fanny Lye Deliver’d – and we had the chance to speak to the man himself.

Clay discusses collaborating with Maxine Peake and Charles Dance on the movie and what it was about this particular era in British history that appealed to him as a storyteller. We also discuss his many talents, and get behind the ideas that helped to put together this brilliant soundtrack.

Watch the full interview below:
