"For the first generation it's about survival and the second generation tells the stories. I am part of that generation now who is eager to tell their stories, to look at how we live and share that in all of its glory, humour, tragedy and spiritually. There are so many stories to be told."
@ebmk___ takes us inside the world as he sees it through his storytelling, and explains how he used this to great effect in 'Terence' which is nominated for Best British Short Film at the upcoming @bafta 's. Centred on a London security guard who balances a fractured home life with a secret spiritual gift for healing, Kelman's powerful short explores the dynamics of faith and family within the African diaspora in the UK.
He also reveals the guerrilla techniques which made the film possible—from directing his lead actor via hidden headphones on a busy high street, to mixing real people with actors to achieve unscriptable moments of authenticity.
