Sally Wainwright

I tend to write all my shows myself.

But then the other aspect of being a showrunner, which I do do, is I'm an exec on the show as well.

So I'm across all the decisions that I made about casting, heads of departments, you know, what the show looks like, what it feels like, what the ethos of the show is, how it comes across on screen.

And I also direct my own shows.

I was wondering...

Again, that's not what usually a showrunner does.

A showrunner would usually be across who all the directors are and I assume be on set with them.

And again, it's about the look and style of the show.

So I'm kind of a showrunner in that I exec and I direct.

So I'm very much across what the show is.

It's probably different to what people generally... Do you do the editing, everything post-production as well?

Yeah, I'll be in the edit.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, Riot Women, I started writing in the January of 2023.

Okay.

And I finally finished in the edit of July this year.

So it's been...

Two and a half years.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so it's a big undertaking.
