Edinburgh International Film Festival 2025: Eva Victor on Sorry, Baby
While Peter, Anahit and Ellie are off covering the various other festivals happening across Edinburgh this August, Jamie has been attending the Edinburgh International Film Festival, which kicked off in wonderful style on 14 August with Sorry, Baby, the debut feature from Eva Victor, who writes, directs and stars in the film.
Sorry, Baby seemed to go down tremendously well with everyone at the opening. On the day after that opening, we sat down with Eva Victor to discuss the film. Have a listen below.
