Filmmaker Interview with Ranw Aso-Rashid

Season 3, Ep. 11

Filmmaker Ranw Aso-Rashid speaks with film critic Chris Olson for UK Film Review about his latest short film, Whispers of Redemption. The exclusive filmmaker interview covers many aspects of Ranw's filmmaking, including his production company AR Studios.


Read our indie film review of Whispers of Redemption on our website, where James Learoyd said this about it:


"Ranw Aso-Rashid's Whispers of Redemption is a sharply crafted little film with a lovely sentiment. Eric (Ansu Njai) is a young man who’s just lost his mother. With her ashes, he goes to the sea to find solace and meets Grace (Jenny Rowe) and her dog. She too has lost someone in her life, so she shares some important advice about how to keep living. There are many short films about loss, but audiences will appreciate the fact that – by the story’s end – this is far more a piece about moving on than it is about being stuck inside the pain; and the vast ocean before them serves as a lovely visual metaphor for the flowing, uncontrollable feelings our protagonist must come to accept. What we as the audience witness is simply a ten-minute, extended conversation about how we deal with mourning. It’s a deeply heartfelt piece of writing, yet it’s the filmmaking that really elevates the content..."
