A Danish Journal of Film Studies 7 An interview with Hisham Zaman on Bawke Richard Raskin Could I ask you to fill me in on the development of this project? How did it begin? How did it unfold? Is any of Bawke inspired by your own personal experience? Bawke was actually an idea for a longer film, with more action and more characters in a broader universe. Economic and time factors resulted in our going for the short film format. The film is not autobiographical, nor is it based on a true story. But the script is inspired by real events, as recounted in interviews I did with people who had experienced the difficult flight we see in the film. And I have used some of my own experiences in the film, since I have been a refugee myself. The father-son relationship, traveling, escape, sacrificing yourself for the sake of something that means a great deal to you, all of these things have been an important driving force for me. Besides, a father’s love for his son is a universal theme that everyone can identify with. Was the film storyboarded? We had a shooting script, but no storyboard. Except for a single-sketch storyboard for one of the scenes, when the father and boy are lying under the truck and the boy has to pee. The sketch was important for showing the crew how we intended to manage the scene under the truck in visual terms. May I ask about the choices you made in casting? And also about the ways in which you directed your actors? For me, casting is an important part of the filmmaking process, maybe 50% of the whole film. If you have the right cast, half of the job is done.
