00:00 We have Simon Pegg directing.

00:02 And obviously because it's Simon Pegg,

00:03 and he's a movie star and all the rest of it,

00:05 a big movie star, he's done an amazing job.

00:09 Anyway, I can't wait to see the finished thing,

00:11 but he actually brought the crew

00:12 from Mission Impossible to film it.

00:13 - How did that happen?

00:16 - Well, because he was at a festival

00:18 and he shared some love with me on social media

00:22 and I kind of said, "Thank you," back

00:23 and all the rest of it.

00:24 And my wife actually said,

00:26 "I wonder if he directs and videos

00:27 "and whether he wants to.

00:28 "It might just be a fun thing to do."

00:30 And he jumped in and did it.

00:31 And he came up with a great script

00:32 and a whole concept and an idea.

00:34 And it was just a great couple of days to shoot it,

00:37 to be honest.

00:38 He brings all that kind of, obviously,

00:40 knowledge he's got from all the movies he's been in

00:41 and written and made and all the rest of it.

00:44 But also he brings that sort of humor as well.

00:46 And it was just a great, great set

00:48 to be on for a couple of days, yeah.

00:49 And with that quality of people doing it.

00:51 So we've gone from iPhone to Hollywood

00:53 sort of crazy jump there, but yeah.
