"It was Dan Hodgson’s idea," says Lizzie Brown. "It was something he’d been working on for years.He comes up with these little punchlines all the time and then sends them to me."
She’s taking about Love Is Blind, and as it turned out, that was the right little punchline to choose – the film was a much bigger success than anyone on her team could have guessed, and was even selected for the Cannes Film Festival, something Lizzie says she would never have expected.
"Oh my goodness it was such a surprise! When I started applying for film festivals obviously there were certain ones I was really hoping for, but when I ticked the box to go into competition in Cannes, I forgot about it completely, and then when they called we thought somebody was playing a joke on us! We knew people would like it because it’s.
