Jane Perry - Festival Judge, Actress: SohoLIFF Spotlight

Actress of stage, screen and gaming, she’s worked alongside some Hollywood stalwarts including Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks and Nicole Kidman, AND she’s a Bafta winner too.

But most importantly, we think, she’s also one of our film festival judges, and as such she’s one of the people your films have to get past for a prestigious SohoLIFF award.

Jane and Liz sit down to chat about the on screen gaming world for women, how to choose projects… and of course how and why Jane loves to judge the SohoLIFF film entries; what she looks for.

Love film and SohoLIFF, then check out this SohoLIFF Spotlight.

As an ex-copper, and having been part of the police film unit, he’s certainly in the know. Find out which shoots got shut down by the police and why…

He breaks down some crucial do’s and don’ts; want some budgeting tips – small crew, small kit – can you film… well find out here!
