Shanawaz chose the medium of film to express his creativity because he finds the idea of bringing to life those experiences to people which they may not have encountered, yet present it in a believable manner, in a way that allows for a realistic connection, extremely fascinating.
Since his early childhood, Shanawaz has been a keen observer of human interaction which has honed his ability to extract the essence of a character/situation to make it relatable.
Shanawaz intuitively looks to other elements to assist him to form a wholesome picture, be it colors, art or music and this is reflected in all his frames.
'405' is his first short film inspired by a graphic novel, which is simply a montage of the day in the life of an unnamed man, tackling subjects like freedom, love, and loneliness. Now showing on Mubi.
His feature film Candyflip is now showing on Netflix.
