This is the third episode in this year's exclusive 4-part mini series in the run up to Worcester Film Festival 2026. During the series Marcus and Callum will be speaking with filmmakers whose films will be screened at this year's festival as well as the organisers themselves. In this episode, Marcus had a conversation with Writer & Director, Zoë Bullock and Producer, Nathan McCuaig. Zoe and Nathan's short film, "Sunlight Water" follows recently single Josie who rescues a houseplant in serious need of some TLC only to find herself falling in love with the plant itself. Thus begins the process of Josie trying to figure out exactly what the plant wants, but by doing so, risks losing herself in the process. The film really does throw your emotions everywhere and through comedic moments, romantic allusions and deeply emotive dialogue, Sunlight Water gives a captivatingly unique perspective on toxic relationships. This is the first short the pair have collaborated on and the story of how they came to collaborate on this project is a really fascinating one which we discuss during the conversation. During the chat Marcus also discusses Zoe’s experience of her directorial debut, the challenges they overcame on set as well as the differences between working in TV, theatre and film.

In this episode, Callum had a conversation with the filmmaker, Ludo Hoffstetter. Ludo's stop-motion animation, "Factory Reset" follows an automaton born in the depths of a forgotten factory and its programmed curiosity through a silent world of rust and steel. Ludo is a French filmmaker based in Paris and spent 10 years working away at this films which includes some unbelievably impressive stop-motion animation work, with so much of the film being practically shot. “Factory Reset” explores grand questions about determinism, individuality, and identity. The character’s journey mirrors both the stages of life (from birth and childhood to labour, aging, and death) and the rhythm of the modern daily grind (waking up, going to work, returning home exhausted, and starting again the next day). The big existential questions posed by this film are dived into between Callum and Ludo during this episode as well as discussion about how Ludo pulled off this incredible technical feat of filmmaking.
