The Two Gay Geeks have a chat with Sean Lionadh, Director of a short film entitled “Too Rough.” This film comes to us from Scotland and has qualified for Oscar consideration on two separate occasions, as well as won numerous film festival awards and a BAFTA. We chat with Sean about how he got into filmmaking and specifically “Too Rough.” The conversation was lively and fascinating. Have a listen, and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
