Bench was also nominated at other film festivals, such as Independent Short Film Awards in Los Angeles.
Rubya Chaudhry was one of the talents that starred in Bench. She explained the concept of the movie as, “an intimate dialogue between two conflicted hearts, looking to find their own truth in life.”
The trailer for Bench shows Rubya moving to sit on a bench after she buys two packs of cigarettes. Her character gives a monologue, talking about the choices each and every one of us makes in our lives and how it defines us.
“For every ten choices you make, you’re lucky to get two right. And you’re luckier if those right choices were for life defining moments.”
She walks to the bench, and shares with the audience that she has many regrets, and today she will be fixing one of the choices she made. After all, in her own words, “it’s never too late.”
Congratulations to Usman Mukhtar, Rubya Chaudhry and Ali Mudar, along with the whole team, on Bench’s win at the South Shore Film Festival in New York!
