Star Wars' 'Welsh' director on how everything has changed for young film-makers

As a boy he slept wearing Stars Wars pyjamas, between Star Wars sheets. Then when he grew up his dream came true - Gareth Edwards, who considers himself Welsh, directed the first of the saga's 'spin-off' films - Rogue One. In Wales attending a Bafta Cymru event, Gareth tells us about his Welsh parents, holidays in Wales, and how the world of film-making is now open to everyone thanks to changes in technology.
