An inventive first feature from Naqqash Khalid sees British-Asian actor Aden navigate (and exploit) the not-so-hidden prejudice and social hypocrisy of the film and television industry. At the start of the film, Aden is an extra, jostling for parts through humiliating auditions and in front of dismissive casting agents. After taking on a strange and unsettling role-play gig, Aden starts to recalculate his options moving forward. Treading the line between fiction and reality and bounding with fresh ideas, Khalid and his lead Nabhaan Rizwan forge a witty, thought-provoking and fast-paced satire that cuts to the heart of modern society.
