Episode description

Aleks Krotoski talks to Facebook's Anna Higgs about finding your way up the rickety climbing frame to success in a creative field, why she was sneered at at film school, and about an inspirational movie giant who produced some of the most iconic movies ever made.

Anna is a producer and executive working in the intersection between film and digital storytelling. Throughout her career she has worked across every realm of storytelling… Commercial, arthouse cinema, short-films, and innovative digital projects that accompany documentaries.

Today, she heads Facebook UK’s entertainment division, a role that has her collaborating with studios, broadcasters, publishers, record labels… and Elton John.

She’s also Deputy Chair of BAFTA’s Film Committee.
