Ready To Go director keen to excel

From Stranger Things to Sony Pictures

The director of a short film written and set on the Isle of Man has begun life in her new role.

Lynda Reiss made her directorial debut in the dark comedy Ready To Go, which has been praised by many in the industry.

The success of the release has led to her being accepted onto the Sony Pictures Diverse Director's programme.

Ms Reiss - who has worked as a prop master on productions such as Stranger Things and True Detective - says it means all other projects are now on hold.
