Elaine and Louise chat with actor Holly Jack about her career and her first venture into filmmaking with her short film Safe Home which she wrote and directed. This film was a reaction to what happened to Sarah Everard and we do touch upon this a little. So a trigger warning for around the 20 minute mark of the episode. We also chat Holly’s work in River City and living in LA. Below is the link to grab tickets to see Safe Home at the
Edinburgh Short Film Festival

Holly Jack
Holly trained in musical theatre but soon found that her main love was acting. Her first role came at just 19 when she was cast in River City. She then moved to LA for 3 years working on various projects. She returned to Scottish screens in River City once again in 2020. She has written and directed her first short film Safe Home which has recently been seen at Dinard and HB film festivals and will be seen at Edinburgh short film festival at the end of the month.
