EP .187 – 'Finding New Ways of Working' | Live at the HB Film Festival
Tue Feb 03 2026
Jamie is joined by Claire Duffy and Maureen Hascoet live from the HB Film Festival for an honest conversation about the state of Scotland’s screen industry and what it really takes to build work from the ground up right now.
Claire and Maureen open up about:
🎬 Building creative careers outside traditional media pathways🌱 Why grassroots movements and community-led initiatives matter more than ever🧠 The mindset shifts that can hold creatives back from putting work out🤝 Creating opportunities through collaboration rather than permission🏗️ The realities of funding, access and sustainability in the current industry📣 Why Maureen founded the Scottish Screenwriters Festival and why Claire started the Glasgow Telly Festival🔍 Where the gaps still exist and what needs to change
A really open conversation about what the industry can learn from those building things at a grassroots level.
It was a genuine pleasure to welcome both Claire and Maureen on the show.
A massive thank you to the team at IRIS for filming this episode, with a special shoutout to Abbie and Conor, and to Conor Mecham for his editing support on this week’s episode.
Recorded live on Sunday 5th October.
