Joining us on the podcast today is James Mellor. James is a seasoned director and producer who lives in Ripponden with his family. James has nearly 30 years experience in the film and TV industry and founded Rainbow Trout Films in 2010, which produces award-winning films, commercials, and documentaries. James will also be working with us on a film as part of the Welland project too which is incredibly exciting.

This episode explores James' impressive career and his passion for storytelling. We had such a lovely chat about James' journey into film, the touching story behind his production company, and why community projects are an important part of his work.
