Chatting with CGR Cooke

Francesco is a friend of mine from my days in student digs at Leeds Beckett University. He always stood out from the rabble of pissed students as being someone serious about their craft, only to be backed up with inordinately good manners and renowned friendliness. I always enjoyed talking to Francesco as his passion for film radiated from every pore - even down to making a short film party invitation which I hope he uploads one day. I asked if he would come on the podcast to share his unique perspective on creative filmmaking which lead to the success of his latest film, Virginia.You can see the film and all of Francesco's info below, and I endorse you to watch Virginia as soon as you possibly can.

I'm very happy to have my copy sat next to my desk as a reminder of what's possible when you're genuinely passionate about a project and want to make your dream a reality. Make sure to connect with Will on his social media channels below, but not before buying a copy of the book and leaving a review to show support! Buy the book from a smaller retailer: https://kabloom.co.uk/product/theshrewwiththeflu/?fbclid=IwAR22nkMX233YY1f97zdf3beVFozUdnfIRfNUsUaXecDR2qdncW4SqrS6Yuo Buy/review the book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shrew-Flu-Will-Hamilton-Davies/dp/1781329826/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the%20shrew%20with%20the%20flu&qid=1611609813&sprefix=the%20Shrew&sr=8-1&fbclid=IwAR1eGFT4NjvQKO7aOzNLU4kOyzpCK-ZQ-D4xlv0O8wVnW8SSVhSq32acdoM Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willhdofficial/Will's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WillHDOfficialWill's Twitter: https://twitter.com/WillHDOfficialWill's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-hamilton-davies/Connect with me on social media if you want to see what I get up to, or just fancy a chat! For conversation about all things fitness and nutrition, add me on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/charlie.cook...To establish a professional relationship and develop any synergies, add me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-c...To see into my personal life you can follow on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/cgr_cooke/And to hear my mindless (often drunken) thoughts, follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/cgr_cooke

Hello! Thank you to everyone who took the time to listen to this podcast. This was my very first recording for this CGR Podcast project, so I want to massively thank Beau Miles for being so bloody brilliant in coming on and sharing his thoughts on DIY in our current COVID and junk era. We talked about a lot of topics, mainly based around the philosophy of his get-it-done and Do It Yourself attitude with regard to many of his adventures and subsequent films, so I really hope you take the time to watch all of them at least 5 times... if not more. A couple of Beau's films have been mentioned, including a couple which have since been released, so I have collected all of them into one playlist for your viewing pleasure, or if you just want to know what the hell we are talking about. You can view this here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3hgjRebTTQonMFMrGiPMYApFP6Kj7nr4 The films mentioned are: - Junk Wine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDBOtFgaYhQ&list=PL3hgjRebTTQonMFMrGiPMYApFP6Kj7nr4&index=2&ab_channel=BeauMiles- Mile an Hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvT5XS7j-Dc&list=PL3hgjRebTTQonMFMrGiPMYApFP6Kj7nr4&index=6&t=3s&ab_channel=BeauMiles- Junk Paddle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqZJ01sNQuw&list=PL3hgjRebTTQonMFMrGiPMYApFP6Kj7nr4&index=5&ab_channel=BeauMiles- Junk Cabin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzSeGJF6RhM&list=PL3hgjRebTTQonMFMrGiPMYApFP6Kj7nr4&index=3&ab_channel=BeauMiles- Junk Office: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QpFFB1QHto&list=PL3hgjRebTTQonMFMrGiPMYApFP6Kj7nr4&index=4&ab_channel=BeauMilesI am still eagerly awaiting the release of his upcoming book, The Backyard Adventurer, and you can also support Beau by placing your order here (please do): http://briobooks.com.au/printbooks/the-backyard-adventurer Connect with me on social media if you want to see what I get up to, or just fancy a chat! For conversation about all things fitness and nutrition, add me on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/charlie.cook...To establish a professional relationship and develop any synergies, add me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-c...To see into my personal life you can follow on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/cgr_cooke/And to hear my mindless (often drunken) thoughts, follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/cgr_cooke
