Screen Players Club is our exciting new podcast series. Check out our latest episodes below.
“I am a total film geek. The kind of geek who rewatches a great movie over and over. The kind who is evangelical: wanting friends, family and passing strangers on the bus to experience this incredible film too. It is this impulse to share great cinema which inspired me to create Screen Players Club.
Each episode we invite a writer, director, producer or actor to share the stories and never-before-told anecdotes behind bringing their vision to the big screen. We celebrate well-loved movies that have remained favourites and discover exciting new releases as they find their place in movie-goers’ hearts.
My hope is that our Screen Players Club podcast will appeal to both film-lovers and lovers of life, because initial chats about movie making soon move on to something more profound, as we explore the beauty and the boundlessness of being alive.
I cannot wait for you to listen. Welcome to our club.”

Find out why they cast Tilda Swinton and George MacKay as fictional characters in a non-fiction film and share the moving moment when they filmed Marianne Faithfull’s final ever performance, and the astonishing reaction from Marianne once she’d finished recording her song.
Joachim Trier & Eskil Vogt on Sentimental Value.
Award winning director Joachim Trier and his co-writing partner Eskil Vogt share the secrets of their writing partnership, explain how through hours of intimate conversation they found the movie’s heart and cinematic through-line and reveal their moving ritual that sends their film into the world.
Joachim also shares how he maintains the dynamics of chaos and control on set, which allows his actors the space to achieve such searingly honest emotional performances on screen.
Rebecca Lenkiewicz on She Said.
Oscar and BAFTA winning screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz is responsible for some of the most nuanced, potent and beautiful films in contemporary cinema. In this episode she joins Charlotte Bogard Macleod at Soho Square Studios for an open, vulnerable and fiercely honest conversation about the movie “She Said.” Rebecca shares insights about how adapted a book while the book itself was still being written. She opens up to why this story resonated so strongly with her, and the personal impact of this project. TW: Please note this episode contains discussions of sexual assault which may be distressing to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
“The Script Factory helped me become a better writer who’s now more confident to tell a story and brave enough to celebrate my own unique voice.”
