====================================================================
Today’s guest on the show is Scottish award-winning filmmaker, and writer, Ben Sharrock, known for his Cannes Official Selection 2020 feature film, Limbo, and Pikadero, among others.
Ben’s unique visually captivating films are inspired by middle eastern and northern European cinema. Interpreting middle eastern character in his films as he does in some of his recent work stems from an academic background in Middle East Cinema, Fine Arts, and working advertising in Dubai. The rooted connection --- learning and understanding these cultures carved a for Ben, a unique cinematic voice in the industry.
Sharrock and his producing and life partner, Irune Gurtubai founded their production company, Caravan Cinemas under which they premiered their first film, Pikadero at the 2015 San Sebastian International Film Festival.
A penniless, young couple has trouble consummating their fledgling relationship in their parents' homes, forcing their relationship into question as they try to break free from the shackles of a crumbling economy.
The film which had initially gone by Patata Tortilla was Sharrock and Gurtubai’s Screen Academy Scotland graduation film. They won two awards at the Zurich Film Festival in 2015, Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2016, and two BAFTA awards that year for new Talent Best Drama and Best Screenplay.
The recognition of Pikadero made it easier to get funding to write the screenplay for Limbo which came out in 2020.
Ben directed and wrote the original screenplay for Limbo---a wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience which follows Omar, a promising musician and Syrian refugee who is separated from his family, stuck on a remote Scottish island awaiting the fate of his asylum request.
Ben approaches the sensitive issues of refugees' dehumanization and orientalism in this film with absurd humor and honesty.
The film was nominated at this year’s BAFTA for Best British Film, Best debut and best international Feature Film for the GoldenEye.
I truly had a fun time geeking out on a tandem with Ben about film lenses, and cameras and learning of his film influences and transferred skills from his career in advertising to filmmaking.
Enjoy my conversation with Ben Sharrock.

Great interview great story, I had found about Bloodsport being a true story(not anymore) many years after I had seen it. I had seen it today to give myself a break from the daily footage of genocide being committed. You can only watch so much of kids being murdered right.
He said “crap”
3min of advertising right away, then lit of fluf. I stopped watching your videos. I tried again with this one and i gave up after 5 min
I wonder if all of this info is still relevant post Covid mid 2024
Omg! How long has it been ? Before this interview or after that he got caught with a 15 year old?
Where can I watch it
Look up Nighty Night. It's British and Dark. Just do it and don't ask questions.
THIS MAN LOVE STRIKING A MINOR CHORDS
WHOSE COMING HERE AFTER THIS Z PEDO EXPOSED
Thanks, I enjoyed this interview. If I may, here's how I would've enjoyed it even more. 1) Talk less. Much less. You are clearly as knowledgeable as some of your guests, but use that knowledge to draw useful information from your subjects. Watch the pros, the best interviewers on network TV. That's what they do. Instead of showing us that they know the answer before they ask the question, they play dumb (hyperbole) and let their subject shine. 2) Don't finish your subject's sentences. It's irritating to the viewer, not to mention to your subject. 3) Laugh less. It makes you look frivolous.
Please script ur videos they are repetitive comments in a circle.
The Erwin Brothers (especially in the last 6 years) have been able to transcend past their core demographic/target audience. They were the first filmmakers to have a Christian themed 🎥 be shown on IMAX screens with “I Still Believe”. They do the smart thing of not beating you over the head with their messages/beliefs. An additional reason they’ve transcended past their target audience is how their work looks visually. Their experience in music videos helps them immensely because a bunch of their work visually looks gorgeous. And as someone who’s agnostic/borderline atheist I can watch their work and not feel like I’m being preached to.

It is extremely hard to make a movie that you can get anyone to watch for two hours. 😂🎉
what the ??? an 74 old grandpa with 15 years old girl😂😂
Usual suspect
Hey this the dude with the 15 year old!
Matrix is cool and all but Dark City is just a whole 'nother level cool and i hate how Matrix got all the credit, not to mention the theatrical narration that spoils the entire film the studio forced in because they didn't trust the audiences intelligence and yet Matrix didn't have to do that, why? I doubt Alex will see this comment but i can watch Dark City anytime and always enjoy it and no matter what, that final boss fight is still the best, it's like DBZ with epic music.
Hey Boris!
This didn’t age well 💀💀💀💀
Just trying to figure out when this interview occurred? In one place it’s says May 2022 but in the description it appears to be around 2018 or 2019?
No offense, but I don’t I agree with the majority of what he’s saying here. Furthermore, his suggestions on how to change Dan in real life would’ve made that movie less interesting
Cool anecdotes, we love to see it.
Great conversation, from the outside it seems like he odds are random and stacked against us newbies. A really good script is still the pivot.
Great episode!
Enter the fail dragon sucks. The biggest fuck up in Enter the Dragon was no fight between Bruce and Bolo. BloodSport is the best martial arts movie ever made.
Prolly a Minoooor !
Rest in peace, Mr. Toia. I wish we could have seen what you had in store for us. Thank you for capturing this, Alex.
CZcams hella covering for this guy when you search for him, funny how they protect their own but smear others... disgusting
He talked about Denmark in the beginning. We’re it’s legal to meet 15 years kids🤔
Another demboyz caught in the act 🤑🤑🤑
The Matrix stole more from “Ghost in the Shell” (manga and anime) and The Terminator movies. Aesthetically, it has some Dark City vibes.
They also used many of the same sets used for Dark City in The Matrix as well.
