#SPECIAL - Jafar, KC, Teddy and Bruna: Team Behind a Short Film Perfidia
Episode description
In today’s special episode, I was joined by part of the team behind Perfidia, an ambitious short film that is currently competing in festivals. The crew consists of a Kurdish-British producer Jafar Mohammad, a British-Kenyan co-writer and editor Teddy Njuguna, a Portuguese writer and director Bruna Pias and a British producer KC Hughes. We mostly talked about their experiences making Perfidia, a short film about male domestic abuse victims, which they made together. The discussion covered everything from its conception, production and future plans to the ambitious plans to turn it into a television series. We also got to know the team better as they talked openly about their backgrounds, prior education and career obstacles. For filmmakers, students, and anybody working in the creative sectors, this episode is packed with excellent tips. Additionally, they provide some useful resources that might be helpful to many people when they enter this industry. Listen to this episode to learn more about Perfidia's behind-the-scenes, find out how to get your movie commissioned for a TV series and get inspired by the incredible energy of this amazing team.

Quotes:
“If that is your dream, then grab your phone, grab your friends, experiment and go for it. And if I might be a downer, just expect a lot of rejection and a lot of heartbreak. It is not easy to be in this industry.”
“So just go out and put yourself out there, which is something I wish I had done. I wish I had done more while I was at film school.“
“When your crew becomes your family, then you know that it's gonna turn out well.”
“Don't be afraid to make mistakes. That's the most important rule. Because if you don't make mistakes, you'll never learn, never grind and never feel that accomplishment”
