Play It Safe
It took quite a while to pin down Mitch Kalisa for an interview about Play It Safe – but some films are worth it. When we finally meet, I tell him straight out that no other short film has impressed me as much this year. He thanks me and blushes a little, but takes it in his stride – with a BIFA nomination now in hand and a chance of qualifying for the Oscars, it’s something he’s getting used to hearing.
It’s a very long way from what he imagines when he first started developing this film about an acting student who struggles with being the only black person in his class. Struggling with stereotyping and the sort of low level, possibly unconscious racism that’s really hard to tackle, and asked by classmates to accept a racially stereotyped role in their latest play, Jonathan (played by Jonathan Ajayi) reaches.

Mitch Kalisa's Play It Safe is showing exclusively on Mubi starting October 26, 2021 in the Brief Encounters series.A RECOLLECTIONIt was a weekend drama class where I first participated in an animal movement exercise. I was about 15. The weekend was held at a prestigious drama school and I was taught by some of the Ma students.Animals allocated at random, they encouraged us to explore the intricacies of movement. We had to think about how the specific animals could inspire and define characters we’d been working on. The workshop culminated in a performance, each person was to take the stage and perform for a given time.This final presentation was the most nerve-wracking of all the performances we all had to do while at the school. However, it was at that moment I was reminded that my portrayal was more loaded than those of my classmates. The room took...
