Amy Jephta doesn’t like the limelight. The playwright-turned-screenwriter and now film director and TV showrunner shuns being fussed over to the extent that she refuses to let the publicist carry a chair outside for her when she’s being interviewed on set. “On the red carpet, I like the actors to be interviewed. That’s part of their job. I’ll stand back. I don’t feel I need to cultivate a particular brand for myself. I just need to know that people like my work and engage with it,” says Jephta.
