Ursula Macfarlane - Director

June 16, 2026 · 53 min

Show notes

In this episode I’m going to be talking to 4 time BAFTA nominee, director Ursula Macfarlane.


Whether working on retrospective stories, like the tragedy of the late 1990s model Anna Nicole Smith, telling the moving stories of survivors of Harvey Weinstein, or her vérité work with psychiatric patients in Notes From The Inside With James Rhodes, Ursula is known for her sensitivity, her humour and psychological insight.


We discuss the joy in Finding those long time collaborators, her beautiful BBC documentary, My brain: After the rupture and the difficulties in getting films commissioned that don’t have an ending,


But most importantly. It begins where all good chats start. With a good cup of tea.
