A week after the Academy Awards, we welcome our first Oscar Nominee to the podcast. Born in Northern Ireland, Michael Creagh was nominated for his short film - The Crush - and he shares the story behind the making of the movie, including how he actually didn’t want to win the Oscar! We also discuss what it was like growing up during The Troubles; the disturbing role social media is playing in the rise of bigotry and sectarianism; and we share valuable tips and advice for any up-and-coming filmmakers.
