The official trailer has been launched for filmmaker Suman Hanif’s British indie thriller ‘Tell Me About It.’
The film follows two British Pakistani teenagers Amara and Halima. Both friends plot a fun, girly adventure from Bradford to London but only if these girls knew what was coming their way. Amara gets kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity with her best friend Halima; the daughter of an acclaimed politician whose future plans to tackle drug crime in the city challenged the top goon in town. During this drastic and confusing coincidence, both Amara and the kidnapper are about to find themselves in inexplicable situations confronting their own unconscious demons which reflects the heart of this drama.
The film aims to be a promising advocate for misrepresented South Asian GenZ who have a strong influence of South Asian culture without actual experience, and have strong experience of British lifestyle without any influence. In the film, we follow a segregated family with limited horizon, at low points in their lives masking their reality and desperate for a sense of belonging.
Whilst this layered story shines a spotlight on modern South Asian family dynamics it explores the prevalence of identity crisis in immigrant communities today. Unconventional dynamics of multidimensional characters are set against each other in a surprising way – and as well as just representation and diversity, moving on from box-ticking this film represents a true presentation of British Asian filmmaking and identity.
The cast includes Ariya Larker (Binny & Baba, Larna), Asad Shan (Welcome to London, the most successful British-made Hindi language film in the UK), Ahmed Sher Zaman (Influencer & BBC Radio Radio Leeds Presenter), Nimrah S. Zaman, Zerqa Ahmad, Riaz Syed, Pardip Kumar, Will Cook, Zak Mallal, Raza Mallal.
