“‘The Tunnel’ is inspired by a true story. My community of friends in London includes people who came to the UK in many different ways and some in the most heroic and horrific ways in the last 20 years. One of the topics that we speak about is how we each arrived in the UK and some of them have come from Calais to Kent with different means of trans...
“‘The Tunnel’ is the last act of the feature script that Daniel Metz and I wrote together. The first two acts follow these men in Calais training to run the Tunnel. We finished the first draft of the feature script in 2015. Since then we made the short and at the moment we are writing the new draft of the feature script. We didn’t want to make a so...

It’s the government that uses the anti refugees and xenophobe sentiments for their own political benefits. By the new British law that was passed just months ago, young male refugees just like the characters of ‘The Tunnel’ wil...
“Filmmaking is not a one-man job and it’s teamwork. Try to find people that make you excited about what you are trying to do. Trust in their taste is key for a creative collaboration. Trust comes from knowing people. Spend time with them as much as you feel you need, and listen to what they say, ask them to share with you their five top movi,es and...
“Developing and making ‘The Tunnel’ feature film is my next project. The story of the characters up to the moment they enter the tunnel. My co-writer, Daniel Metz, and I are working on the feature-length script with what we learned from making the short. I’ve recently finished a feature-length documentary about an Iranian exiled poet, Esmaeel Khoei...
