In the June edition of MetCast, we continue to champion Creative Excellence and explore how Manchester Metropolitan innovates and shapes the film, media, fashion, literature, art and design industries.

First up, we explore how we are making our mark at the box office. We meet creative writing lecturer, Andrew Hurley, and senior filmmaking lecturer, Loran Dunn. They share more about their involvement in writing and producing for film and discuss how it feels to see your work come to life on the big screen.

Then, we meet Manchester Metropolitan alumnus and Creative Director of Max Mara, Ian Griffiths. Ian talks about his life as a student in 1980s Manchester and how studying a creative subject at University helped shape his career.

And finally, we hear more about Passiontide, the new novel from Monique Roffey. Monique won the Costa Book of the Year award for her last novel, The Mermaid of Black Conch. She is also Professor of Contemporary Fiction at Manchester Met’s Manchester Writing School. We learn more about her inspiration behind the novel’s key themes of feminism, protest and politics.
