Casual conversations with longtime professional writers, actors, and directors about their craft, industry, and body of work. As a lifelong artist from NYC who has worked in theatre, film, and literature since the late 80s, I really enjoy highlighting others in my wheelhouse. I grew up acting on stage, then moved into screenwriting, directing, editing, and production photography before refocusing on my writing and worldbuilding, so I deeply value these fields and love speaking to other creators and performers about their insights and imagination. Beautiful cover art illustrated by Umangi.

Sion Ifan on on the importance of Welsh language productions, the draw of crime series, and stepping behind the camera

Sion Ifan is a fantastic Welsh/English bilingual actor and director whose latest works behind the camera include the intense 6-part murder mystery Cleddau/The One That Got Away and the fun family sci-fi show Y Goleudy/The Lighthouse. He also directed half the episodes of Creisis/Crisis, a great emotional drama about mental health, and is one of the directors on the upcoming series Still Waters. On screen, he gave an absolutely devastating performance as the lead antagonist in the final season of the must-see crime noir drama Craith/Hidden and was wonderful in the psychological thriller Bregus as well as many other series. In addition, he is an accomplished theatre actor, with recent credits including Oberon in an epic bilingual production of A Midsummer Night's Dream a few years back. I've really enjoyed his work over the years, and it was thrilling speaking with him in depth about the Welsh entertainment industry and the use of Welsh in mainstream media.
