The really successful work in England tends to be working-class writers telling working-class stories. The film industry has been slow to wake up to that, for a variety of reasons. It still shocks me how few films are written or made in England about working-class life, given that those are the people who go to movies.
Stephen DaldryI categorically resist this idea that films are supposed to be autobiographical and the only stories you tell are about your own life.
