Our eleventh day of podcast interviews and coverage from the 2018 Edinburgh International Film Festival continues...

Up first today is our interview with actress Sophie Kennedy Clark and writer/director, Jamie Jones who join me to discuss obey, one of my highlights of the film festival.

Obey is about Leon, a nineteen year old boy with an alcoholic mother who has grown up in and out of care. Finally free from adult supervision, Leon begins to rail against the injustice of his reality as his dreams become more and more unattainable and distant. Leon’s existence is suffocating, and all too real. When he meets Twiggy, a beautiful blond girl living in a local squat something stirs inside of him. As she introduces him to her world, the weight of his past lifts.
