Here’s a sneak peak of an exclusive Q&A session with world-renowned producer Elizabeth Karlsen, (and producer of 2015 Todd Haynes hit Carol, starring Cate Blanchett). In this clip, Elizabeth talks about what motivates her to get involved with a film project in the first place – Carol has been a real challenge to get off the ground, having been in the making for no less than 14 years, making it a true labour of love…

As a producer, Elizabeth is in charge of both the creative and financial side of the filmmaking process and is full of insight about the industry. Watch the full recording (at http:// wshd.to/carolqa) and find out more about Director Todd Haynes' intriguing inspiration for Carol, how to shoot a New York film without shooting in New York, what it was like working on such a tight budget, the challenges of Super 16mm, how to source costumes of 1950s America, the financing and casting process, what it was like working with Cate Blanchett and the rest of the team, and more.

Presented by Watershed in partnership with Bristol Pride.
