For this episode of This Is My Cinema we learn all about the process of casting, with the wonderful Aisha Bywaters. Aisha was the casting director on breakout Brit film successes County Lines and The Last Tree as well for the sensational series We Are Lady Parts. In this conversation we explore her cinematic origin story, the intricacies of her work and how social media has shaped modern casting. Welcoming come to This Is My Cinema, a podcast from the British Independent Film Awards. The show is called This Is My Cinema and it’s all about celebrating the very best talent in the British film scene and the cinema experiences that made them who they are today.  Our hosts Michael Leader and Rhianna Dhillon will be talking to rising stars and legendary names from in front of and behind the camera, exploring their origins in filmmaking, their inspirations, their memories of the cinemas they grew up visiting and of course whether they take their popcorn salty, sweet - or wouldn’t dream of taking food to a film at all.  On the 18th of February, the British Independent Film Awards will be broadcasting live on Facebook and YouTube, hosted by Tom Felton, with lots of special guest appearances too. In celebration of the awards, we’ll be releasing one podcast episode every day that week, so subscribe now to This Is My Cinema wherever you listen to your podcasts… you’ll want a front row seat This is my cinema is a Little Dot Studios production for BIFA The show is hosted by Rhianna Dhilllon and Michael Leader It’s produced by Jake Cunningham, Ellie Aitken and Harold McShiel And we’re edited by Content is Queen Photo credits for this episode and its marketing materials:   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
