In today's film, we experience a poignant family drama and coming of age story from multiple points of view.

Howdy? I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A. My agenda is simple. Each week, I plan to bring you in-depth insight into the creative process of storytelling.

And folks, I got to say, without a doubt, I was quite pleased to have with us today, writer-director Sir Kenneth Branagh to talk

about his latest film, Belfast.

And you know, a story like this that's so personal to the artist, it's not always so easy

to tell.

It doesn't always get the audience on your side because the hat trick here is being able to

take your own personal story and deliver it to audiences in a fashion that feels

familiar to them as well. And without a doubt, Mr. Brano succeeded. It's connected with audiences

and critics alike. So he was very forthcoming about his creative process and what it took to

make Belfast. So I know you'll dig this episode.

And speaking of things to dig, I hope you check out Backstory over at Backstory.net. You could read us on a desktop or laptop or via our iPad app, Backstory.

Of course, we also recently published our Winter Issue, our Dune Issue, and you

could see what's inside of it over at our table of contents. And there's so many great articles and scripts to read in there. So I know there's a lot for you to enjoy. If you've

never read backstory before, I hope you consider test driving us and reading our free issue. And if

you like what you see, I hope you consider becoming a subscriber. And if you want to subscribe,

I'm here to make you a deal. I hope you use coupon code save five. That's save and the number

five. You can use it at backstory.net and that will save you $5 off a one year subscription.

Look, it would really mean a lot to me to have my podcast listeners in iTunes and Spotify

and my YouTube watchers of the Backstory Magazine YouTube page, which is where all these Zoom interviews go.

So if you want to see Kenneth Branow explaining right to camera these heartfelt feelings about

his film, make sure to go check out our YouTube page.
