Featured Projects
LIsten To Britain
Stephen Noorshargh directed his debut documentary feature in 2021. A spiritual successor to the 1942 original, Listen to Britain examines the tumultuous growth of Britishness over the past century through the hard-fought flourishing of multiculturalism across this land - giving voice to a new reality of Britain today. Through a diverse group of interview subjects - ranging from activists to academics and artists – this documentary explores the hierarchies, divisions and repressed histories that haunt our past and shape our present. Screened at the UK Asian Film Festival and now a part of Queen Mary University of London’s film curriculum.
Hong Kong Head
The G22 team directed, filmed and edited the music video Hong Kong Head for the band Good Health Good Wealth in 2021. Utilising a variety of surrealist imagery and locations, the video is a dizzying and stylish exploration of a mind under the influence.
In the Name of God
In the Name of God, written and directed by Stephen and Sulymaan Hameed in 2020, is a historical fantasy film adapting Islamic fables into a Christian setting in order to examine the historical tension between the East and West. The story follows a devout medieval woodcutter who, one day, has an encounter with the Devil that throws both his morality & faith into question.
Chimera
Written and directed in 2019 by Oliver O’Brien Till & Stephen Noorshargh, Chimera is an existential drama following the fixation of a lonely man who believes that there is hidden meaning within his violent dreams. Becoming increasingly more isolated as his obsession grows, he delves deeper into his sleep in search of this allusive meaning.
Meet the Team
Our founders Stephen Noorshargh, Oliver O’Brien Till and Sulymaan Hameed met while studying film at Queen Mary University of London. Sharing a passion for cinema and social justice, we founded G22 Studios to make stories that mattered, to provoke change and discussion. Our name is a nod to the Room G22 editing suite where we edited our first film!
