The film is built entirely around recreations of four anonymous people answering the question: what was the moment you were forced to grow up? In some random order, I love hybrid documentaries; Irish filmmakers; people screening their films at Cannes and talking about it, which meant that I absolutely loved Sophie's film and talking with her about it. In this episode, Sophie and I discuss: her experimental hybrid documentary and how she blended four stories into a cohesive film; what the film says about documentary; how she got started in filmmaking; what can change systematically to help female directors and inviting more people to \"grab coffee\" as a way forward; her Cannes experience and what kind of advice she'd give a filmmaker attending for the first time. what's next for her and what it means to be an Irish filmmaker.
