Jim Sturgess Instagram – So proud of my wife and all the team behind YELLOW for being shortlisted for this years OSCARS for live action short film !!!
What an achievement 💥
YELLOW is the embodiment of what making short films is all about.. and why they can be important.
Made with very little money. Raised by the hungry young filmmakers entirely on their own. Some of it out of their own pockets. Because they have a story they need to tell. Short films are a way for the up and comers, for the hungry and the passionate, fighting the odds to get behind a story and to tell it. Not for the acclaimed and the established to flex and impress but for the hopeful, the hopeless and the dreamers.
This is a story written and directed by Elham Ehsas that gives a voice to the women in his home country of Afghanistan.
It’s power lies in the simplicity and poetry of the film that looks into the heartbreaking plight of what everyday young women face as the country falls back into the hands of the Taliban regime.
It’s up against some big hitters this year with big money and big names and so I hope the Academy see past the noise and find this little splash of color amongst all the exploding fireworks.
It’s the quiet ones you have to watch out for
GOOD LUCK YELLOW – so proud of you for this 💛
