About this listen


Welcome to Screen Players Film Club. In each episode a filmmaker, writer, producer or actor talks to host Charlotte Bogard Macleod about the creative journey behind one of their best-loved movies. We get into it all - the behind the scenes anecdotes and the never-before-told secrets - before moving onto more profound conversations about what it means to be a human navigating through life, art and love. Many of these episodes were recorded at our live Film Club events in front of an enthusiastic audience of film-lovers. Screen Players Film Club is a pure injection of cinematic joy, a celebration of movies and the boundlessness of life.
