AR Studios CEO and award-winning filmmaker Ranw Aso-Rashid was recently interviewed by Sarah Smith of the BIFA-Qualifying Brighton Rocks International Film Festival. His award-winning @bifa_film qualified @kinoshortfilm The Silent Choice will screen at the 8th edition of Brighton Rocks on Sunday 22nd, as part of the Drama Rocks III programme. Interview link in bio.
Drawing inspiration from Tarantino’s dialogue-driven scenes, particularly ‘Inglourious Basterds’, this stylistic choice creates a claustrophobic atmosphere serving the story’s psychological complexity.
Aso-Rashid’s collaborative approach reflects his educational philosophy, working closely with his cast through multiple script drafts and encouraging creative input from all team members.
