#BIFA winner and director Akinola Davies Jr. and BIFA nominees Wale Davies and Rachel Dargavel on the most challenging aspect of making ‘My Father’s Shadow’. “Because it’s a deeply personal story, tapping into the vulnerability that is needed and then having to relive that every time you watch the film over and over again. It does touch on grief and childhood memory, so for me, I’ve been able to lean into that vulnerability,” said screenwriter Wale Davies
