IAIN CANNING: Winning an Academy Award, creating Netflix's Heartstopper, and a gay James Bond

gimme Season 2 Episode 17

Academy Award-winning film producer Iain Canning, co-founder of production company See-Saw Films, has produced movies and television shows such as The Kings Speech, Lion, Shame and Netflix's Heartstopper. He describes receiving his Oscar from Steven Spielberg at age 31, as a total out of body experience, and potentially one of the gayest moments of his life. More so by the Oscar's organisers asking them to regroup on stage and sing a rendition of Judy Garland's 'Over The Rainbow'. Iain is a champion of diverse story-telling and thinks we best focus our energy on seeing gay actors in straight roles, rather than the other way round.
