Riz Ahmed: Self - Winner

Quotes 

• Self - Winner: Best Live Action Short Film : Hey, everyone. I'm kind of pranging out to be honest. Thank you so much to the Academy for this incredible honor. We made this film from a very, very personal place. I feel like this is proof that you need to make what you feel you need to make rather than what you think you should make. I just want to -- I know it's not very engaging, but I'm just going to thank some people. I'd just like to thank WeTransfer; Somesuch; Tom Gardner, the producer; Amanda James; Stuart Bentley; Astrid; Caroline. I'd like to thank my mum and dad and my brother and sister, if that's all right. And especially to Lara, and Ray* and Remy*, our kids. I love you.

  Self - Co-Winner: Best Live Action Short Film : You know, in such divided times, we believe that the role of story is to remind us that there is no us and them. There's just us. And this, this is for everyone who feels like they don't belong, anyone who feels that they're stuck in a no man's land. You're not alone. We'll meet you there. That's where the future is. Peace.
