The Most Podcast - Episode 31: Inès Eshun

The Most is most definitely back! Firestarting season 4 is the abundantly talented, resilient and visionary Tribeca-awarded film and TV director and writer Inès Eshun. Together with your host Dominique, Inès paints her story - starting with her most recent directorial/writing triumph: dark comedy miniseries ‘De Shaq’. Inès retraces the series’ creative process & her unwavering intention of taking underrepresented talent through every door with her. She talks channelling deep and/or absurd life experiences & feelings of societal sorrow into their craft with co-writer Soe Nsuki & Chingiz Karibekov. (listen to Soe’s unforgettable episode here) and co-director Anthony Nti. Inès also lays out her journey of being a precocious, creative kid growing up in between elitist Catholic schools and social housing and parenting herself as well as her younger siblings from a young age.

Learn how she grew into an autodidact extraordinaire, entering a spiritual dialogue with the universe and life itself – and eventually creating much-lauded short films such as ‘The Life of Esteban’, which lead to working with BAFTA Winner and Oscar nominee Raoul Peck and landed her a Tribeca Film Festival ‘Young Visionary’ Award with celebrated author and jury member Sapphire beaming with pride in the background. Find out who inspires her, what drives her and what’s next. A story of incredible persistence and indomitable giftedness.
