Lesley Paterson, the Scottish producer and screenwriter of Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front shares the story of how after 16 long years, the film finally came to fruition.
Lesley discusses how her career as a professional triathlete helped fund the project, her childhood love of the original novel and how she approached screenwriting for a German film - without actually knowing the language.
Plus, she explains everything that went into the movie behind the scenes that has already swept the BAFTAs and hopes to do the same at the Oscars.
