La Cha Cha is a counterculture, romantic comedy about community, love and not going gentle into that good night. Set on the Gower Peninsula, La Cha Cha is the ultimate feel-good film of 2021, at a time when everybody needs more music, laughter and connection in their lives. Following the closure of his Mobile Film School Kevin Allen (Twin Town, Under Milk Wood, Benidorm), wrote La Cha Cha during the lockdown and filmed over the summer in the Gower, Wales. Shot on Iphones, training many of the novice crew from scratch and the film uses the nooks and crannies of the 23 acre location as inspiration. Bringing back together the entire cast of the Bafta Cymru winning cult classic Twin Town for this 'companion piece', adding a few young rising stars and some legendary Welsh cameos, the film weaves real musical performances through a number of scenes, combined with the original soundtrack by Mark Thomas and, of course, a few Cha Cha Cha's.
