    Talking 'The Visit' Jake Murray and Paul Ludden

    Nigel sits down for a very special interview with director Jake Murray and writer/producer Paul Ludden as they explore the history, background and motivation behind their short film The Visit. Their intense character drama tells the fictionalised story of the perpetrator of the real life bombing of Manchester city centre by the IRA in 1996. The bomber returns to present day Manchester as an aging and ailing man, contemplating the consequences of a life spent in violence. Jake and Paul takes us through their experiences making the film as well as their perspectives on the facets of political violence, the momentum of history, the importance of supporting the arts and providing access to it, particularly for people from deprived backgrounds and getting a huge boost to the production from Jack Reacher author Lee Childs.

The One Note Man follows a musical man who lives a careful life. Each day is like the next, just how he likes it. One day, however, misfortune and fate collide, breaking his routine and rocking his world forever. Our resident host, Nigel Morgan explores not only the background of this Oscar and BAFTA shortlisted film, but also the changing landscape of the awards circuit and the emergence of corporate entities into the short film space and the challenges of returning magic to the cinema experience.

    Talking "I'm Not Finished" with Rebecca Gallon, Matt Hansen & Tina Zucco

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions pertaining to sexual assault. In this very special episode, Nigel talks to the winners of the Outstanding Drama Short at this year's Surrey Short Film Festival (now the Cameo Launch Short Film Festival). Director Rebecca Gallon, producer Tina Zucco and writer and lead actor Matt Hansen reveal the background of their drama short film I'm Not Finished. The film follows Alex (Hansen) as he bonds with Ellie at a house party. Sparks fly between the two but when one makes a move and takes things too far, what started as a fun night ends up being a traumatic experience. I’m Not Finished is a short film about desire, intimacy and consent and the complex social codes surrounding these notions. Matt speaks candidly about the events that led to him writing this film and how he established a creative partnership with Zucco and Gallon, who would ultimately guide the project toward becoming a powerful and painfully insightful short film. The film and this conversation contains discussions relating to sexual assault. If you have been affected by any of the topics discussed, we have included a link to Survivors UK below, who are a great source of support and who partnered with the makers of I'm Not Finished on the production. https://www.survivorsuk.org/ Follow the Filmmakers Rebecca Gallon (Director) - Instagram / Website Matt Hansen (Writer/Actor) - Instagram / Spotlight Tina Zucco (Producer) - Instagram / Website Blue Ink Entertainment - Instagram    Subscribe to Our Podcast Find all of our episodes at - https://www.cameolaunch.com/podcast    Subscribe on the below platforms Apple Podcasts Spotify Amazon Music Google Podcasts
