In this special episode, I sit down at the Folkestone Film Festival to answer questions about my feature film B-Movie. I open up about the tough decision to sack a key member of my crew and the challenges of rebuilding the team from the ground up. I also share how a near schoolboy error with copyrighted images sparked the creation of a completely fictitious movie-within-a-movie — The Killer Sombrero. Finally, I talk about what’s next for me in the ever-chaotic, always surprising world of film production.
If you’re curious about the highs, lows, and unexpected twists of indie filmmaking, this episode pulls back the curtain.
In this episode, I chat with Kiah from the Pepper Foundation about the inspiring origins of the charity.

In this episode of Charity Begins Here, I sit down with Charles Balchin, the CEO of Momentum in Fitness Charity — a groundbreaking organisation using movement to transform lives. Based in Southampton, Momentum in Fitness supports children undergoing cancer treatment, young people struggling with their mental health, and older adults looking to regain mobility and strength.
Charles shares the deeply personal story that led him from the world of CrossFit into founding a charity that now runs over 100 tailored fitness sessions every month. We discuss how the charity works hand-in-hand with NHS staff, schools, and community groups, the measurable impact of their programmes, and the moving stories behind the people they’ve helped — including a young girl once facing invasive surgery, who got back on her feet through nothing more than Momentum’s exercise-based support.
This is more than a conversation about fitness — it’s about dignity, purpose, and rebuilding lives, one rep at a time.
