YOU recently wrote and directed a film called Nobody Loves You and You Don’t Deserve to Exist, which has won a lot of international awards. What’s the film about?
The film is about class and morality, about how those in power treat us and about how we treat each other. It’s also about abandonment, loneliness, mental health and a breakdown in communication between the working and middle classes.
Always in the background is the theme of class, and the north/south divide — how this is continually reinforced by right-wing ideological forces in order to distract and weaken any serious collective opposition to the systematic asset-stripping of what remains of the UK.
