Manchester based filmmaker Mat Johns discusses his film ‘Inertia’ with Robert, from where the story began, to how much it cost to make and everything in between. The pair dissect the film and we get a first-hand rundown of Mat’s journey from school to the world of film, via the University of Salford.
