‘Future Imperfect’, an action-thriller with supernatural elements, stars Aijaz Aslam as Zahid, a self-conflicted medical sales rep who finds a diary written in his own handwriting. A diary he doesn’t remember writing, and whose entries bewilder him.
The diary has one rule for Zahid: don’t question anything, just follow along. With orders from the diary propelling him on a frantic journey for the next twenty-four hours, Zahid ignites a chain reaction that will change his own future…a future that needs to come to pass, without his consent or volition.
The Team Behind The Project
Produced by Zaid Aziz under his banner Vox Vision, “Future Imperfect” is written, directed, co-cinematographed, edited (amongst other credits) by Mohammad Kamran Jawaid, a veteran film critic associated with Dawn’s newspapers’ Icon magazine (formerly titled Images and Images on Sunday) for nearly two decades.
“I have always been intrigued by anthology shows that had supernatural or fantastic and far-fetched overtones, like the Twilight Zone and Black Mirror, so when producer Zaid Aziz approached me to do a ‘different’ project, I felt it was the right time to make a statement, of sorts”
Said Jawaid
More About The Film
Shot with the intention of pushing the envelope, the film mirrored the logistics of a theatrical film but was made within the budget and storytelling constraints of television. The film is shot in a record time of five days.
The action choreography of the film is by Ibrahem Kushtiwala, a former kickboxer who trains in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
“Outstandingly, brilliantly, acted by Aijaz Aslam – if it is not his best performance, then it is one of his best performances. What I like about the script is that it is really fast paced. There are no lags in shots, there are no useless music margins left over, no trying to stretch scenes longer than necessary. It is very fast. The overall story is very interesting and very different, and that is what made me sign this project.”
