We are honored to announce that “The World’s Coolest Film Festival,” a/k/a the Crystal Palace International Film Festival [rated No. 1 in the United Kingdom], has selected SCREENING ROOM — a short film written and directed by ABDULLAH KHAN, a Forbes “30 Under 30” honoree — to play at its upcoming event.▫️
Set during a London film festival, we follow a young screenwriter (Samuel Small, “The Strays”), who while searching for inspiration meets a mysterious woman (Elodie Grace Orkin, “Stranger Things”) The two then bond over their shared love of cinema.
▫️
Also featured are Maria Almeida (“The Strays”), Kika Green (“House of the Dragon”), Alan Emrys (“Host”) and Ken Christiansen (“It’s a Sin”).
▫️
Our thanks to all at CPIFF and to our cast and crew for making this achievement possible. (Their Instagram tags follow.)
