FIND THE LIGHT, written and directed by Abdullah Khan, had its world premiere at Manchester Film Festival, ( @maniffofficial), on March 16, 2022.▫️
This special film stars GEORGE MACKAY, CRAIG MCGINLAY, RHYS STONE, SEEMA BOWRI, AMERJIT DEU, and introduces, (then) 16-year-old, JAYSOL DOL.
▫️
The story follows a victimized boy who decides to confront his inner demons by drowning himself, and during the process finds purpose and meaning.
▫️
In an interview which played at the opening of the festivities, Abdullah and George chat with Festival Director, Neil Jeram-Croft, about the project. (The short’s underlying inspiration and origins are quite enlightening.)
▫️
Of course, a congratulatory shout-out to the entire cast and crew is most certainly in order. (Their IG tags follow.)
