Access Granted: Paving New Paths in TV & Film for the Next Generation with Leah Henry

Kirsty Hunter Season 1 Episode 8

In this episode of The Creativity Clinic, we sit down with Leah Henry, a development producer at Fully Focused Productions; a leading youth-led media organisation on a mission to open doors for young people who traditionally wouldn't have access to the industry. We dive deep into the challenges and triumphs of creating inclusive opportunities, the behind-the-scenes work of shaping projects for TV and film, and the life-changing impact this has on marginalized communities. From mentoring young creatives to developing real-world industry skills, Leah shares inspiring stories of how the next generation is finding its voice in the world of media.

This episode covers:

  • The importance of breaking barriers for underrepresented youth in TV and film.
  • Real stories of young people who’ve made their mark through these initiatives.
  • How Fully Focused Productions navigates the world of development production, working with new talent.
  • Insight into the future of TV and film with a more inclusive lens.
