JEANIE FINLAY (director / producer) is one of Britain’s most distinctive documentary makers. Her acclaimed films tell small and intimate stories to international audiences, whether delving into the grit and glamour of a Nashville legend in BIFA-winning ORION: THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING; into the heart of Teesside’s last record shop in the multi-award winning SOUND IT OUT; into the life of a British trans man, pregnant with his child in SEAHORSE, or into the tears and triumphs on the set of the world’s biggest television show for HBO on the Emmy-nominated GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH. Her films, although varied in subject matter, share an empathetic approach to bringing overlooked and untold stories to the screen. SEAHORSE is her eighth feature film. www.jeaniefinlay.com
