Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Akash Sherman" in English language version.
At only twenty-three years of age, Akash Sherman has helmed an optimistic science fiction feature that not only got me interested in learning more about astronomy, but made me leave the theater thinking about what else is out there in our universe.
'Clara amazed us in so many ways,' said Needle. 'From the strong filmmaking to the complex, engaging story to the emotional performances. All of it shows why Akash is one of the best young filmmakers to watch today. We're so happy to be working with him, Ari and the rest of the team.'
The film flirts with sci-fi, but director/co-writer Akash Sherman is ultimately more concerned with grappling with matters of the heart than with extraterrestrials.
Sherman's family still lives in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta, where his mother is a pharmacist and father a doctor.
The story behind the story is that I was a 19-year-old film student in an art history class, and I had an epiphany that all the great artists throughout history who we were studying would probably be out creating something at my age, not sitting in a classroom.
For Sherman, who also wrote the film, approaching the idea of life beyond Earth from a scientific perspective and coming from a place of spirituality didn't require two, mutually exclusive perspectives.
