In this episode of 360Timmy, Tim takes a scenic walk through the beautiful Crystal Palace Park with Rick Stanton, a self-shooting writer, director, and editor with over a decade of experience. Rick has worked with some of the world’s biggest brands, including Sony, Virgin Atlantic, Apple, Amazon, and Universal, while also creating award-winning films that tell impactful and authentic stories.

The conversation takes a personal turn as Rick opens up about Spectrum, his powerful and deeply meaningful film inspired by his brother Steve, who has autism. The film follows Steve’s journey as he navigates a world that often isolates him, showing how he redefines what it means to be a superhero with resilience, courage, and humanity.

What makes Spectrum truly unique is its authenticity. Rick worked with a cast of neurodivergent and autistic actors to ensure the story’s representation is real and heartfelt, and he was joined by BAFTA-winning actor Wunmi Mosaku (Loki, Black Mirror, Deadpool & Wolverine), whose performance adds even more depth to this transformative film. As they stroll through the park, Rick shares the inspiration behind Spectrum, the challenges of telling such a personal story, and the importance of representation in film.

He reflects on how his relationship with his brother shaped the narrative and gave him a unique perspective on resilience, identity, and acceptance. This heartfelt and inspiring conversation is a must-watch for anyone passionate about storytelling, filmmaking, and making a difference through creative work.
