Leave to Remain - Tragicomedy Short Film
Things get wild at the 'VISA and immigration services' when Karim, a young Iranian father living in the UK, is mistakenly threatened with deportation.
Dear reader, I was thinking the other day that most of you have actually never seen any of my film work, so I decided to share my latest short.
It’s also a film that means a lot to me personally, with a topic close to my heart and one I’m rather proud of. I don’t really want to spoil it, but here is the pitch.

If you are interested in knowing more about the genesis of the film you can check out this nice article.
I would also recommend not watching this on a phone, but it’s up to you.
Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. As always let me know in the comments!
NOTE: The film is about ten minutes long, and was funded by the British Film Institute in collaboration with Film London and the production company Sweetdoh.
Loved it! It had just the right amount of emotion, discomfort and the unexpected. It's also really interesting to see something from you in a different format than the one I'm used to seeing here on Substack. Thanks for sharing.
Loved it! The main was so expressive and real feeling and the dog was perfect- thanks for sharing, Remi.
