Synopsis
Director's biography
Mateusz Golebiewski is a cinematography student at Lodz Film School, born in Stargard, Poland. He moved to The United Kingdom in his twenties where he attended a post-graduate course at London Film School. The first documentary film he directed, “Labor,” won the best debut award at Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival. He is currently living in Prague as part of Erasmus+ student exchange with FAMU.
"This film was also, and foremost directed by my best friend - Shekhar Bassi. Shekhar is a disabled and autistic screenwriter/filmmaker of British Asian – Indian heritage. A trained actor, Shekhar started out behind the camera as a screenwriter and director and trained on the job under Rolf De Heer. During shoting this film Shekhar was and has not left London's hospital, but we request any festival willing to present this film to put his name only as director."
