Riz Ahmed Instagram – On behalf of myself and Left Handed Films, thank you to the Academy for recognising ‘The Long Goodbye’ for best live action short film, and honouring ‘Flee’ with a historic 3 nominations for Best Animation, Best Doc, and Best Intl Feature!
It’s an amazing feeling to be here just one year into creating Left Handed Films. These are two deeply personal and urgent stories that are totally unique in their creative execution, and so close to our hearts. That’s the kind of work we want to make.
@thelonggoodbyeshort was one of the most intense and important stories I have been a part of telling. Its power is down to the bold vision of our brilliant director, @_aneil_ Karia, and our tirelessly dedicated cast and crew.
We’re also proud to celebrate our incredible director, @jonaspoher, and all our amazing collaborators on Flee. It is both a technically and emotionally towering feat of filmmaking, and defies categorisation. Thank you Amin, for your bravery in sharing your unforgettable story.
It’s a privilege to be part of these projects that, along with many others this year, stretch culture in powerful ways.
