Take a closer look at the story and inspiration behind Gladstone Girls, and the choice of a scripted Podcast.
Gladstone Girls is directed by Academy Award® winning director Chris Overton, who is also from Staffordshire. “This is an exciting true story with bundles of heart and comedy, but at the centre piece is an important story which is very current today. The characters are so vibrant. It could be the most fun I’ve ever had making something”.
