Film documents Bracknell Ironman challenge training
He said he got the idea for the video after seeing a video Mr Smith had made about a relative training for a triathlon."It was literally like a mini movie and I was like - wow, this kid can edit," he said.He facetimed his nephew and told him his plans, and Mr Smith said he thought at first his uncle was "completely waffling"."But then he got other people involved, they were getting equipment, scheduling interviews, and I'm like - oh, ok, we're actually doing this," said Mr Smith."And low and behold, we did, we had the premier on Friday and it was great."
'Step into the unknown'
The 10 people featured in the film were from "all different walks of life", Mr Mouzon said.Participant Joyce Jeffrey said she decided to do it mainly for health reasons."As you get older fitness becomes a bit more important to you, and seeing people around me have various health scares as well, made it more important," she said.She said seeing herself on the big screen was "not something I was looking forward to", but said: "Sean's done a great job on it, so it was nice to see it and good to look back on all the effort we'd put in."And for Mr Smith, making the film was "a massive step into the unknown"."I've done college projects and personal little videos in the past, but nothing on the scale," he said."It's meant to represent us all as a collective going beyond our limits.He added: "Going beyond my limits of my disabilities to be able to edit together a whole feature length film and put it on a screen in Cineworld - it's not really something many people can say they've accomplished."Nothing can stop you. You can do whatever you put your mind to."

Chris Hemsworth shares 'magical' moment with Robert Downey Jr on The Avengers set
Chris Hemsworth has returned for Disney+'s Limitless where he looks into ways of living better. Chris Hemsworth has opened up on the 'magical' moment he shared on the set of The Avengers with his co-stars. Renowned as Thor, Australian star Chris Hemsworth is part of the iconic The Avengers team, along with Chris Evans' Captain America, Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, Florence Pugh's Black Widow and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye. The 42-year-old took a break from the Marvel franchise to film the second season of Limitless for Disney+ which sees him learning how to live better. One of the challenges he was given to improve brain power was by learning how to play the drums and perform in front of thousands of people at an Ed Sheeran concert. During a Q&A for the new series, cognitive scientist Maya Shankar explained that the 42-year-old would have felt collective effervescence, a form of awe experienced when in groups. She added: 'We feel the boundaries between us dissolve, we feel more connected with one another. 'People describe having full blown spiritual experiences in these masses.' Hemsworth then stepped in to share another memory he had when he felt this way. He commented: 'I've had nothing to this degree but I remember being on The Avengers 2 or 3 and there was a fair bit of improvisation happening and 10 different characters in a room and something clicked and a few things came about. 'Robert Downey Jr afterwards came up and said 'Did you feel that?' 'I said 'Yeah that was quite cool.'' He continued: 'Every now and again, you tend to orchestrate it and capture it and that's what you're chasing the whole time. 'It's those little moments of magic where everything just falls into place and you're no longer trying to articulate or analyse, it's beyond you.' Five years have gone by since Avengers: Endgame came out but the wait for the next chapter is nearing its end. Hemsworth along with the other Avengers stars are currently working on the follow-up film Avengers: Doomsday. An official release date hasn't been announced just yet but it is expecting to come out sometime in 2026.
