Welcome to the first episode of a four-part special with the cast and crew of Voiceless.

On a very wintery Saturday afternoon, Callum sat down with actor, writer, and producer, Matthew Hansen to chat about Matt’s latest project, Voiceless.

Matt joined the National Youth Theatre after graduation and since then, he has appeared in a growing number of multi-award winning short and feature films, as well as working in theatre. His screenwriting debut was I'm Not Finished, which received selections and awards from film festivals worldwide.

Voiceless is a short film following a young man with a stammer (Joe) as he is taken along to his friends' writing and performing group. There, he is challenged to overcome his fear of public speaking.

The film has been screened at film festivals across the UK and Europe.
