Carol Morley (film-maker) - 'Typist Artist Pirate King'

Screenwriter, director and producer Carol Morley joins us to chat about her film ‘Typist Artist Pirate King’. Based on the life of artist Audrey Amiss (played by Monica Dolan) who lived with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, the film has been described by the Guardian as a “warm and sympathetic film” that “imagines the artist, whose mental illness curtailed her ambitions, on a tragicomic road trip to exhibit her work”. Carol discusses Audrey’s life, portraying mental illness on the silver screen, and how the film came to be.
