Bundle of goodness and global movie star Chris Hemsworth takes viewers on a rollercoaster personal journey as he explores how to combat aging and discover the full potential of the human body.
From Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, Jane Root’s Nutopia, and Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson’s newly formed Wild State, “Limitless” puts cutting-edge science of human longevity centre-stage. Part global scientific adventure, part personal journey, each episode of the series follows Chris as he takes up a gauntlet of physical and mental feats designed by world-class experts, scientists and doctors to unlock different aspects of the aging process. Each meticulously crafted challenge is rooted in game-changing science, drawing on new research and long-held traditions. Chris’ mission is to understand the limits of the human body better and discover ways we can all extend health and happiness into old age.
Keeping himself in peak physical condition and best known for portraying an immortal superhero, Chris has always taken care of his health and fitness. But, now in his late 30s, he wants to find out how to harness the potential of his mind and body to stay sharper, stronger and healthier for longer — not only for himself and his children but for his children’s children too. Each challenge pushes Chris further than he has ever gone before. Through the series, viewers will learn techniques they can use to improve their health and enhance their own lives.
Jamie Williamsspent nine months editing the ‘Memory’ episode. Reflecting on the episode he said “The main aim of the edit was to take a film that had a big action hook and turn it into something that was reflective and cerebral. The biggest challenge was finding a way to represent something that’s very difficult to film – our memories. By mixing a dreamy, filmic approach with an effect heavy edit, we built a film that hopefully lures the audience into Chris Hemsworth’s mind, dialling into the nostalgia of youth and showing how important our earliest memories can be to who we are”.
We’re really looking forward to watching this one. The series will be available on 16th November on Disney+
Phil Bowman directed and edited tonight’s episode of drama-documentary Banged up Abroad. In the episode Liverpudlian Billy Moore moves to Thailand to start a new, happier life, but instead he gets addicted to the drug Yaba and loses control. Phil found the episode was a great creative challenge as in addition to all the action and danger that audiences are used to in a Banged Up Abroad, Billy’s story is really about his battles with himself. In the end Phil thought this episode has become a discussion of the dangers of toxic masculinity and aspiring to be a good parent.

Sam edited three episodes of this brand new cookery travelogue . Food writer, cook and broadcaster Sophie Grigson sold up her home in the UK, packed everything into her car and moved to Puglia in the heel of Italy. The series follows her as she makes a new life for herself there meeting new friends, learning how to cook the Puglian way and exploring this, sometimes neglected, part of Italy.
Sam said “I really enjoyed working on the show, even if I spent the whole time yearning for Italian food. I’d say the biggest challenge of it was getting episodes cut and out the door within about 6 days an episode! Otherwise it was just a pleasure to work on.”

This new 90 minute drama documentary comes from Oscar-nominated director Dan Krauss (Extremis) and is produced by Sweta Vohra and edited by Duncan Hill. It sound’s like a brilliant project to work on with a great team as Duncan explains: “ Our story is a hard-boiled forensic science investigation, a heart-breaking story of institutional racism in America, a domestic terrorism saga, and an interior view of one man’s psychological and emotional collapse. It was not only a really big challenge making all these strands seamlessly bind together but also very demanding grappling with both classical archival sequences as well as high end dramatised scenes. But I have to say, the whole process was a complete pleasure, made all the better by working with a hugely collaborative director, an open minded exec and a very supportive broadcaster. It’s exactly the way films should be made but all too often aren’t”.
