Happy War of the Worlds day! 🚀

At midday on the 12th of August “I Made War of the Worlds” finally premiered on YouTube!

Winner of 21 film festival awards around the globe 🏆

The story follows Jeff Henderson, a struggling podcaster who decides to stage a viral sensation by recreating the infamous 1938 Orson Welles radio drama "The War of the Worlds." He teams up with his hesitant buddy and an ambitious actress to pull off the ultimate hoax alien invasion. But as you can imagine, things quickly spiral hilariously out of control!

It's a fresh, funny tribute to H.G. Wells' legendary story, and if you’re into clever parodies and indie films, this is definitely one you don't want to miss.

🎬 **Starring:**
- Jonathon Carley (War Doctor, Big Finish) as Jeff Henderson
- James Dorman as Clayton Morrison
- Anna Ferrier as Elizabeth Coverdale

After what has been a wild WrestleMania weekend with Cody Rhodes finally "Finishing his story" it reminds us that pro-wrestling is an art form, It is the art of physical storytelling.

Story telling is at the heart of what pro-wrestling is, and this reminded us of a story we told a while back about former WWE star Eddie Dennis and his story. "Wrestling a Dream" directed by Luke Walters enters the intriguing world of professional wrestling - one of the fastest growing entertainment spectacles in Wales. Eddie Dennis from Swansea, a well-respected maths teacher and head of junior school, considers giving up his career to try and become a wrestling legend. The film follows his eventful journey.
