In this episode of Sync Music Matters I’m interviewing Jeanie Finlay

Jeanie Finlay is a documentary filmmaker. 

She has made films for HBO and the BBC including four commissions for the acclaimed BBC Storyville strand such as BIFA nominated The Great Hip Hop Hoax and BIFA winning Orion: The Man Who Would Be King

She directed the Emmy Nominated Game of Thrones: Last Watch which was a behind the scenes look at the making of the final series. 

Her most recent film, Your Fat Friend, is in cinemas now and is a documentary following author and blogger Aubry Gordon who writes about fat acceptance and anti fat bias. 

During the course of this interview we also delve in to Jeanie’s rich musical past and her general love of creating.

In Episode 17 of the Sync Music Matters podcast – Interview with Anna Meredith, we discuss her work as a genre-crossing composer and producer, and chat about her MBE for services to Music in the 2019 Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
