Chris Sweeney: Directing, Diversity & Dreamy Dishes
Manage episode 444469156 series 3603502
In this episode of ‘Just to Pasta Time’ Alex is joined by multi talented director, writer and king of queer podcasting, Chris Sweeney.
Born in London to a fashion photographer father and a stylist mother, Chris began to sow the seeds of his directing career at a young age by filming fake ‘you've been framed’ videos on his camcorder at home.
Fast forward to today and Chris has quite the resume, with TV shows including ‘The Tourist’ and ‘Liar’ under his belt, as well as music videos by the likes of Lily Allen and Jessie Ware.
In 2017, he launched his hugely successful podcast, Homo Sapiens, which in his words, is the “LGBTQ answer to woman's Hour”. On talking about his podcast, Chris said “it's been the most joyous thing I've ever done in my life, if all my other work evaporated and I only had the podcast, I'd be as happy as a clam.”
In this episode Chris talks all things directing from stories of the Saturdays to on set snacks. We also hear about Chris’s childhood and how he came to creating the Homo Sapiens podcast.
This is a really brilliant episode that you won’t want to miss!
