Shortcut

2010, 22 minutes

A Hindi/English Thriller

Shortcut is a Hindi/English thriller set in London in 2010. The film aims to explore the lives of a British Asian professional (‘Vinny’) and his immigrant European Indian housemate and consequent love interest (‘Neelam’). The film deals with the pressures faced by young professionals of modern day life and it’s consequent effect on relationships and self-confidence. Shortcut is extremely unique in style as it aims to cross over between both Western and Eastern audiences in a native manner. The film has been Directed by a Western Director, Natasha Barber – although Shortcut has a very strong Eastern flavour and introduces actors Armaan Kirmani (Vinny) and Kiran Kalotia (Neelam), both of whom are of both Western and Asian backgrounds. There is also a special appearance in the film by Western actress Jessica Lawless (Monica).
