My first job after graduating was as Development Assistant to the brilliant Mona Qureshi at Ruby Films, having worked there as a runner when I was a student. I remember Alison saying there’s no training for being a Producer and nobody is going to hand you a job on a plate, you just get out there and tell people you’re a Producer and make the work. The idea that you can be whoever you say you are, and that you can give yourself permission to make things happen, has really stuck with me.
