In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker duo Jack Margerison and Maxwell Bamber to talk about WOOTTENS—a beautifully shot short film capturing generations of boatbuilders working along the River Thames. We explore the emotional depth behind the project, the dynamics of their creative partnership, and the power of telling quiet, character-driven stories.

Jack and Max share what it’s like to collaborate as freelancers, why passion projects are essential to surviving (and thriving) in the creative industries, and how simply getting involved—paid or unpaid—can shape your future.

Whether you're a filmmaker, creative, or someone who appreciates stories of legacy, craftsmanship, and resilience, this is a conversation that will leave you inspired to pick up your camera and start creating.
