Lucrecia: You Have To Be Cringe Until You’re Not
This week's guest is a director who paid for her own shoots on weekends while account-managing in advertising, got threatened with the sack the morning after directing one of her now-best-known music videos, and learned the hard way that one cruel comment from a boss can almost stop a creative life before it starts. We get into why the most specific story is the one that travels, why she's stopped polishing and started chasing the energy of a scene, and what it actually takes to build a directing career when there is no blueprint. Stick around for one of the most moving answers about a film cue you'll hear all year.
Lucrecia is an Argentine-British director who's moved from London to a mountain in Mallorca and is taking her music-video and commercial work into her first narrative shorts.

Murugiah: The Most Personal Is the Most Creative
Murugiah is the illustrator of the moment. He has a debut solo exhibition at the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration and a client list that runs from Apple to Elton John. But the thing he's proudest of isn't a brand commission. It's a painting of a broken figure being told it's going to be okay — the most personal thing he's made, and the image he's chosen to lead the whole show with.
This one's about what it actually takes to make creative work with a unique voice, why "the most personal is the most creative," and why generative AI can, in his words, get in the bin.
Murugiah: Ever Feel Like opens at the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration on 5 June 2026. https://qbcentre.org.uk/exhibitions/murugiah-ever-feel-like
