Iris Prize Podcast S2: - Olivia and Joey (Acrimonious)
After meeting at Uni and going their separate ways into writing and acting, Olivia and Joey reconnected and made ‘Acrimonious’, based on some of Joey’s real life experiences. They delve into what it’s like to make a film in your own living room, the things that really did happen and the bits that were given some poetic licence.
‘Acrimonius’ is a story of Emeka’s sudden divorce from his husband which leaves him back in his childhood home after he thought he’d left it behind for good. Moving from a middle class dream back to working class reality, Emeka has to relearn how to navigate the single life.
