Ross Syner's Oscar-Qualified Short BROTHERS: Truth Divides - Blood Binds


Listen Later

My guest is Ross Syner, an award-winning British film writer/director whose emotionally charged storytelling and cinematic visual style have earned him recognition across the UK and the international film industry. 

Ross has currently qualified for both BAFTA and BIFA consideration with his latest short film BROTHERS, starring BAFTA-winning actor David Bradley, which is now on an active awards-season run.

Ross first gained international attention with his debut short film Francois, a project that gained him accreditation to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, giving him early exposure to the global film industry. 

He followed this early success with JACK, a powerful drama that won the Royal Television Society Award for Best Short Film, cementing his reputation for creating deeply human stories with a striking cinematic edge.

He is the founder of Mockingbird Film Co, and continues to champion bold, original storytelling.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ross Syner’s BROTHERS is about a family's bond and morals are tested by a life-changing situation.

Every day we make decisions of choosing between right and wrong. But would you be willing to lay down your life for the ones you love? Would your sacrifice your future for someone else?

BROTHERS brings up so many questions we should ask ourselves. Morality, the distinction between right and wrong or good or bad behavior. 

Cinematically, this film is spot on beautiful. The lighting, the coloring, the simple camera work makes this film focused on the story and its incredible cast. 

Actors David Bradley, James Eeles and Jack Christou bring realistic, emotional depth to their characters. They make us live within the dilemma they are facing. 

The music score by Anthony Ford is beautiful, but it leaves us with the feeling of living with the mistake of one person and the sacrifice of another. 

This is an award winning film and it should be nominated for both the BAFTA and the BIFA. It has all the elements and I will leave it at that.
