Amani Zardoe

Creative Loving Spirit

Amani Zardoe is a filmmaker and actor based in London, who as well as performing for stage, film and television also writes, directs and produces short films under the production banner of HeavyWait. We speak about finding your voice as a storyteller and staying true to yourself in the work you choose to create, how Amani values collaboration, learning, play, exploration in the experience of working with others, and the belief that what we make doesn’t have to be perfect, but you have to finish it, learn from it and move on to make something new. ‘MISS J’ http://www.heavywait.co.uk/miss-j/ ‘OFFSTAGE’ http://www.heavywait.co.uk/offstage/ AMANI’S RECOMMENDATIONS -‘Frances Ha’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBn5dgXFMis -‘Five Broken Cameras’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_93nOqwmhU -Cannes Film Festival Selection https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/festival/selection/competition-1 FOLLOW AMANI Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/AmaniZardoe Creative Loving Spirit is produced by Paul Macauley.
