Huse Monfaradi

Finally got around to getting the final poster made for One Punch now the festival run has ended as of the end of 2025. Very proud to have been selected for these festivals, almost all of which were @bifa_film @bafta or @theacademy qualifying. So huge thanks to @asffestival @foylefilm @mcrfilmfestival @crystalpalacefilmfestival @flickerfest @sedonafilmfestival @nwfyeg @hollyshorts @prifest @directorsnotes And a final thank you to @harvs31 @donnaair @ahkgardner @ilianeot @georgejaques @preeyakalidas @doctor.riz @finitefilms @athenaeumprod for making the film possible, as well as all the hard working HoDs and crew who I will forever be indebted to. I’m really proud of this film and the love it’s received from day one. On to the next one…

// Premiere // “As a filmmaker, I have always loved simple storytelling and strong performance-led narratives that focus on the dialogue and emotion at hand – an attention to the micro rather than the macro. @husemonfaradi speaks to DN about navigating the searing emotional intensity of his quietly powerful drama 'One Punch' @onepunchshortfilm where grief, guilt and forgiveness collide in the wake of a single, life-altering moment.

For around a decade, if not longer, we’ve done a version of this photograph every year when we go to Devon for a hang and surf. This weekend was the last time. So many lolz and so much love for these guys @dimitriraw @skinbadthesailor @daniellindegrenofficial @dougalwilson @everythingisillustrated @richard_pengelley
