Thank you for joining us for Series 3 of the Going Rogue Club podcast. We’ve had an incredible selection of guests, all with different pathways into the industry, working both in front of and behind the camera.

So much advice has been shared, along with a lot of laughs and a healthy dose of rogue set stories along the way. We’ve had a ball making it and we hope you have enjoyed listening!

We will be back in your ears shortly with details about our new series, but for now be sure to follow us on socials @thegoingrogueclub where we will be sharing some highlights and compilations from this series.

We’ll be back! Watch this space.

Today we’re joined by writer and director Mounia Akl. Her feature Costa Brava, Lebanon premiered at Venice before travelling to film festivals all around the world. She’s since directed episodes of The Responder, Boiling Point and House of Guinness, as well as upcoming comedy It Gets Worse written by Leo Reich.

Mounia talks about her journey into filmmaking, how storytelling shapes how we see ourselves and the world around us, and shares some great advice for filmmakers at every stage of their careers. This is also our first joint hosting setup, with both Sam and Phil in the room! Expect some great stories from set, plenty of artistic insight and a lot of laughs along the way.

In this episode, we’re joined by screenwriter Matt Greenhalgh, whose credits include Control, Nowhere Boy, The Look of Love and Film Stars don't die in Liverpool, just to name a few.

Matt says his journey into screenwriting began with four big (but very happy) mistakes... We discuss his writing process, how he approaches adapting real-life stories for screen and ponder on the future of the industry and how the role of the writer has changed over time. Oh and expect a few big name drops (Scorsese included) along the way!

This episode was recorded in October 2025.
