#22: Alethea Jones (Director)

Alethea Jones (director behind Sony’s upcoming live-action feature BARBIE with Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway, and Sundance feature ‘Fun Mom Dinner’ with Toni Collette) discusses the nitty-gritty process behind her directing career - from acting school, up to winning the Screen Australia Breakthrough Award from AiF in October. Hear about what themes from her life and society she attributes her success to, as well as a rather surprising story for what helped pay the bills while she was an up-and-coming short-film director. Alethea also gives generous tips for those aspiring filmmakers out there, so take a listen and take notes.
