About this Video
This is a conversational drama short film about a brown man on a date with a white woman set in a Berlin bar. What starts off as a awkward date turns into something more when our protagonist realizes his partner is inherently biased towards the Indian diaspora.

Hi, I’m Neff Bash, a writer-director focused on stories shaped by South Asian–Middle Eastern heritage, specifically the Indian diaspora. My work explores toxic masculinity, power, and internalized bias through emotionally grounded narratives.
I come from a South Indian family rooted in the arts—my father is an independent filmmaker in Kerala, my mother a visual artist, and my sister a filmmaker and graphic designer. This didn’t hand me a path, but sharpened my sensitivity to image and meaning.
Raised in the UAE and now based in Berlin, I draw from a diaspora defined by contradiction and unspoken hierarchies. I studied at the New York Film Academy and am developing work that confronts control and inherited prejudice.
Influenced by Dog Day Afternoon, Audition, and Punch-Drunk Love, I aim to create films that unsettle and reveal uncomfortable truths.
