Warm up your cuppa's kids as we dive into banter and deep conversations with stars of  the film "What's Love Got To Do With It?"- Broadcaster, Writer and Actor Mim Shaikh and Writer/ Actor Iman Boujelouah. 

In the episode we discuss: 

• The process of self taping/ auditioning for What's Love Got To Do With It? and also intrigued to know your process- when it comes to a self tape or an audition where you are given sides or have a monologue vs your process to when you have booked a job and are working on the character. 
• Writing process and how you create the world of your project; from pitching it, to producing it to post.
• A tip in regards to the industry you wish somebody shared with you at the beginning of your career.
• What is something you have taken from one creative craft into the other. i.e- Mim of broadcasting you have taken into writing and Iman of acting into writing. 
• Safeguarding/ balancing the internal and external biases be they conscious or unconscious in your writing experience whilst challenging your artistic practice.
• Education vs experience. Thoughts on an entry point into the industry.
• 3 things about What’s Love- Challenging part of it and Joyful part. And a bonus something that didn’t make the cut or happened behind the scenes no one knows during filming or after i.e public. 
• Authenticity vs the subject. As writers and actors- Representation of the role vs the story, which takes precedence?
• Favourite part of the job. 
• Thoughts on South Asian Entertainment sector and the industry at large. 3 things could do with and without.
