If, at first sight, you might mistake producer and co-writer Ivan for one of the stars in the adrenaline-pumping flick, you'd be forgiven."That happens to me a lot," the 43-year-old tells me over Zoom one evening from London, dressed in a fitted black T-shirt and black cap.

I'd go, and that would be my whole day. I'd bounce around from one film to another, and sometimes when I'd seen everything, I'd go back and watch something again.
"When I first moved to England, I had a couple of weeks up in Wales and then came back down to London and literally had no money. I mean, like no money. I had like 50 pounds to my name. That's it: no place to stay or anything.
