- Pariah Khan
An Indian student, on a journey of self-discovery, takes a gap year to Britain to ‘find himself’.
Stifled by life in middle-class India, Krishnan is desperate to see more of the world. He takes a year out from his studies to visit the exotic island of Great Britain to learn about life and who he is.
What does Krishnan’s journey teach him about the world? What might he learn about himself? And what happens when he falls in love with one of the natives?

Pariah Khan is a writer, performer, filmmaker and professional wrestling manager. He was named one of Bristol’s most influential young people for his work in theatre and comedy. Last year, he was selected by Channel 4’s Random Acts scheme, where 12 of the South West’s most promising filmmakers are chosen to create their first broadcast quality film. Using this opportunity, he made the short film ‘Slice’ (a dark satire of the graduate experience).
