The arts charity approached Ian after finding out that he'd been a student at Taunton School where his love of acting began. They were looking for someone who would be able to host the festival virtually and when asked, Ian said yes.

Scripts were drawn up and a cameraman dispatched after testing negative for Covid-19. The filming took place in a socially distanced large hotel room with balcony doors and windows open in September of 2020.
