In episode 3 I'm joined from the States by Taylor Conley, an aspiring filmmaker going into her final year as a film student. As a black lesbian woman, Taylor talks to me about the struggles for African Americans and LGBT filmmakers in the industry, as well as discussing some of her favourite films by black directors: The Watermelon Woman (1996, dir. Cheryl Dunye) and Do The Right Thing (1989, dir. Spike Lee.)
