HOW TO TURN A SHORT FILM INTO A TV CAREER with Jamie Donoughue

This week I’m talking to Television Director Jamie Donoughue – Jamie had a very interesting route into television directing. He started out by creating a short film called Shok that went onto get an Oscar Nomination, this led to him working on big budget US Television shows like “The Last Kingdom” before returning to the UK to direct the season finale of the latest series of Doctor Who starring Ncuti Gatwa.

Jamie gave me some great tips for working in television as a director, what to do and what not to do when meeting with television executives and his advice for starting your career.
