This is a very special episode of the Gerry Anderson Podcast. Firstly Michael Shanks is back to tell us about how he went from being a filmmaker in High School making a web series in the early days of YouTube to getting a call from agents in Hollywood. His short film Rebooted features unique practical and digital visuals. Michael also explains how he almost included an Anderson-style marionette! Oh, and there's another reason it's special isn't there? It's the third anniversary!
