May 14, 2008

Producer / Director Fahima Sahabdeen of Sae University is casting for her final student short film production Terrorised.

Shooting will take place in London in May, dates TBC. Food and transport expenses and a copy of the film will be provided.

The story is about an Asian Gujarati Muslim family living in London during the July 7th 2005 bomb blasts. The bombings trigger an avalanche of emotions in the main character Ahmed, who has undergone torture by the Gujarati police in the 2002 riots of Gujarat.

In this frame of mind he hears that he is wanted for the bombings by the police and reacts desperately, which in turn creates anxiety and wonder in the rest of his family. Is Ahmed guilty?

For this film she need one really dedicated Asian actor for the part of Ahmed who is about 50 years old. Zainab his wife has a smaller role but quite important. She is about 43 years old. And two teenage boys, their sons 16 and 19 years.

The film will eventually be submitted to film festivals.
