Happy St. Patrick's Day! I talk with Sam Jones, Irish filmmaker and director of MY LOST RUSSIAN MOTHER. We talk about how he got into filmmaking, this incredible saga of man chasing down his birth mother and finding out so much about his own life. How did Sam make this film? What was his thought process regarding consent? How does he feel about the current state of documentary filmmaking?Special thanks to the director of the Capital Irish Film Festival, Solas Nua, Maedhbh Fiona Mc Cullagh, for making this podcast happen.
