Interview: David Randall and Amir Zargara

OCan and CKCU FM93.1’s A Luta Continua presents a series of Conversations with Canadian Creatives hosted by Monique. This episode features an interview with filmmakers David Randall and Amir Zargara about their short films. Triage and A Good Day Will Come, both screening at the Ottawa Canadian Film Festival in November 2024.

Triage
Emergencies Come In Threes. For Gemma and James, a simple car ride to the vet escalates into a full-blown crisis, exposing hard truths beneath the surface of their relationship. Set in the early days of the pandemic, Triage is a claustrophobic pressure cooker and exploration of who we truly love when our worlds fall apart.

A Good Day Will Come
Arash is a professional wrestler with dreams of representing his country and winning gold medals. The country is in turmoil and its people are suffering. Arash must decide between using his platform to stand up to tyranny, or put his head down and remain silent.
