Welcome to the The Filmmaker's Playbook, hosted by writer-director Jason Branagan. My guest today is actor Emmett J. Scanlan. Emmett has just been nominated for an IFTA for his performance as Jimmy Kinsella in the AMC drama series, 'KIN'. Other credits include Netflix’s smash hit, ‘Fool Me Once’, ITV’s ‘The Tower’, Harlan Coben’s ‘Safe’, ‘Peaky Blinders’ and ‘The Fall’ amongst others. On today’s show we talk about the magic of movie-making, the impact ‘Rocky’ had on his career,  the lessons he learned working in soap, the power of gratitude, building resilience in an industry filled with rejection and the constant evolution of his craft.  The purpose of this podcast is to give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the filmmaking process and to make information about filmmaking accessible to everyone, so whether you're a casual film fan, an aspiring filmmaker, or a seasoned pro, I hope you enjoy today's episode and learn something interesting in the process.
