Bad Indian "The Villain Origin Story"
Dir. Abbey Monteiro
https://abbeymonteiro.com/
Abbey Monteiro’s Bad Indian "The Villain Origin Story" is a high-energy roller coaster ride of a coming-of-age story. Immersing us in its main character’s (also called Abbey) here and now - which just happens to be at a club with her bestie - Monteiro’s short aims to “tear up the stereotype of being British Indian”. A semi-autobiographical tale inspired by the “many stupid, hilarious and dramatic” moments of her own life, Bad Indian presents a complex character, just looking for a fun time. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday
