Giles, who is also a playwright, said: “The money we are aiming to raise through crowdfunder.co.uk for post-production work will not only enable us to complete a great project, it will also, hopefully, make a difference to people’s lives.

“Everyone needs to know why what we eat can have a huge effect on the world around us.”

As if that wasn’t enough to be going on with, he is preparing to promote The Dare, the new thriller he has directed and co-written featuring Game of Thrones star Richard Brake.
