Focus: Filmmaker Talent

This talent initiative finds it origins in a creative challenge that Asif undertook early in his career. Having made award-winning short films, he found the experience of being ‘commissioned’ exciting and creatively liberating. The energy of making something on the fly during a film festival, with no creative constraints, on a tight budget and with the only limitation being the deadline, gave him the opportunity to play and experiment. He also met some great people – and had fun – whilst doing it. All filming is to be undertaken in a single day and the final work will be screened on the last day of Sheffield DocFest.

With the support of Amazon Studios, Canon and The Kurious.
