Have you ever wanted to go to an abba tribute concert and then taken a limo to the abba tribute concert and then got absolutely legless and had the best night you’ll ever have. EVER. Because I have and yes I would say the limo is key.

For some of us, the sight of an Excel spreadsheet fills us with dread, but for an elite group of competitors, they see the blank cells of one of Microsoft’s core applications as a challenge to be conquered. In director Kristina Kraskov and producer Anna Charalambous’ Spreadsheet Champions, we meet six young people who bravely tackle pivot tables, interconnected sheets, obscure formulas and functions, and more, all in a bid to be crowned the winner of the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championships in Florida, USA.

The following interview sees both Kristina and Anna talk about how they encountered this weird world of spreadsheet competitions, their perspective on global stories, and more.
