“For a moment we got to escape and forget the bleak monotony of a pandemic, to bring some warmth, joy, lunacy and liberty to the world. Kevin Allen yet again boosts a nation’s mental health with the little piece of heaven that is La Cha Cha.”
Rhys Ifans
“It was a real joy to be back in Wales filming with a bunch of naked Welsh people. I loved filming with the Twin Town crew and in particular getting to team up with Kevin again. I was honoured to be part of this wonderful film and hope to get the chance to film with them all again. I cant think of anywhere else I’d rather film. Diloch yn fawr!”

ABOUT
Kevin Allen wrote and filmed La Cha Cha in Wales during lockdown, using his Mobile Film Studio as the main location and inspiration for the story. It was also ideal for the cast and crew to isolate for the duration of the production. Bringing back the entire cast of the cult classic Twin Town for this ‘companion piece’ and adding a few young rising stars and a few legendary Welsh cameos, the film weaves real musical performances through a number of scenes, combined with the original soundtrack by Mark Thomas. La Cha Cha is a counterculture, romantic comedy about community, love and not going gently into that good night.

SYNOPSIS
Based on true events, BUMS ON SEATS is a gripping David and Goliath comedy set in the world of British professional wrestling during the 1980’s.
Despite its fifteen million viewers, ITV were plotting to replace the regular Saturday sports broadcast show with Formula One, Snooker and more Football – and a massive deal with American wrestling to replace the British fighters who have been entertaining their fanatic followers whilst earning a pittance for putting their bodies on the line, week after week. However, as his wrestling days draw to a tragic close, Andy ‘Strong-Arm’ Turner and his three best mates battle the odds to come up with a lucrative retirement package of their own.
