ETVF: UK public broadcaster Channel 4 has commissioned a new six-part comedy series created by 2022 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Sam Campbell (Taskmaster) and directed by Joe Pelling (Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared).

Production will soon commence on Make That Movie which focuses on a hotshot director, played by stand-up comedian and actor Sam Campbell, who scours the country for everyday people who have an idea for a feature film.

Sam and his team then race against the clock as they attempt to transform the idea into a film in just three days.

Starring as Sam’s elite crew of filmmakers are: Lara Ricote (2022 Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer, Break Clause) as runner Jess; Aaron Chen (Fisk) as intimacy coordinator Sebastian; Helen Bauer (Am I Being Unreasonable?) as sound engineer Pat; and David Hargreaves (This Country) as cinematographer Winnie.

Produced by Blink Industries (Dead End: Paranormal Park, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared), Make That Movie has been commissioned for Channel 4 by Charlie Perkins, head of comedy and Joe Hullait, commissioning exec.

Executive Producers are James Stevenson Bretton, Sam Campbell and Joe Pelling for Blink Industries and the producer is William Kay.
