The Future of Film - EP. 8 | Nepal Arslan (NYU, Turkish Roots, "Strings")

We have a talk with AAHSFF alum ‘17-’19, Nepal Arslan to dig deep into what drives this emerging filmmaker. Nepal began submitting films in 2017, so we’ve had the pleasure of watching his talents mature for three years - his passion was first recognized with several Official Selections and ultimately with his win for Best Drama in 2019. Nepal pursues stories rooted in character explorations - whether making documentaries or narratives, his films consistently reveal the realistic challenges individuals face and the power of the human spirit to overcome them. The viewer leaves his films with a sense of overwhelming positivity, but not before being taken for a raw, authentic ride through relatable trials. His 2019 film, “Strings” offers a great example of this dynamic presenting a carefully constructed, tense, and complex relationship between a father and daughter - all told through the prism of their connection to music.
