Aaron Chen has been cast in upcoming UK comedy series created by Sam Campbell (Taskmaster) for Channel 4.
Make That Movie 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.
Sam Campbell says: “It’s a bit like one of those shows where they fix up someone’s garden. But this is about something people genuinely care about – movie magic. Let’s be honest with ourselves, a garden has never grossed over a billion dollars at the box office…”
Charlie Perkins, Head of Comedy Channel 4 says: “Sam epitomises the colour, creativity and innovation that Channel 4 comedy stands for. He has an undeniable, completely unique and enormous comedy brain and is generous and tenacious in his artistry – the perfect figurehead for this new-era comedy gang-show. This is going to be fun.”
