Sam Taylor-Johnson on Nowhere Boy

Welcome to the very first episode of Screen Players Film Club! We’re kicking off the series with award-winning artist and filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson, who joins Charlotte Bogard Macleod live from The Cinema in Selfridges to discuss her poignant debut feature Nowhere Boy, about the early life of John Lennon. Don’t miss Sam sharing what happened when Paul McCartney called her out of the blue with feedback, while she was shopping for cereal in Sainsbury’s. And hear Sam divulge a heart-stopping story from her childhood which explains why the script resonated so personally with her. She also recounts the nail-biting moment when Yoko Ono first watched Nowhere Boy - and Yoko’s astonishing reaction to the movie. Can’t wait for you to listen. Thank you for joining our club.
