Miriam Margolyes Made Me Me
Miriam Margolyes Made Me Me, is an extraordinary, behind-the-scenes documentary from BAFTA-winning director, Simon Draper.
Shot entirely on Simon’s phone over two years, the documentary started out as a freelancer’s attempt to make a podcast with the legendary actress Miriam Margolyes, who is determined to cash in on her late-life surge in popularity while she can. But the podcast quickly gets derailed by Miriam’s chaotic schedule.
Instead, Simon captures it all, becoming Miriam’s sidekick, whilst documenting her brutally honest yet joyous and tender reflections on her extraordinary life. Their bond becomes the emotional heart of the film; revealing how Miriam’s true legacy isn’t just her incredible body of work, but the lives she’s quietly transformed, beginning with Simon.
