Making a microbudget indiefilm, Crowdfunding to Apple TV: The Story of 'Time Rewind' with writer-director Lincoln Fenner & actor Tim Cullingworth-Hudson

In this episode, hosts Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir sit down with writer-director-producer Lincoln Fenner and lead actor Tim Cullingworth-Hudson to talk about their time-travel feature Time Rewind (2025) — an ambitious independent film made on a very limited budget that went on to win multiple festival awards and secure international distribution on Apple TV.


In their conversation, they discuss:


Building a creative partnership based on trust, passion, and shared commitment



The nearly decade-long journey of developing the film



Writing the complexities and internal logic of a time-travel story

Crowdfunding the project and navigating indie financing realities



Creative problem-solving when working with limited resources



The importance of perseverance, collaboration, and trusting your instincts
