This personal style of storytelling creates a vivid standpoint and a space for the viewer to experience both character&#8217;s perspectives \u2014 the good, bad and murky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deol ingeniously challenges assumptions by highlighting the grey in communication and crossed boundaries in a way that leaves the viewer with no choice but to engage with what each person is thinking and feeling. And it is within those uncomfortable spaces that constructive conversations begin to take place. <em>\u201cI Would Never\u201d<\/em> is a thought-provoking 10-minute short film that says a great deal about a layered and complex subject in a finite amount of time. It&#8217;s a must watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Edited by:<\/strong> Zeus Quijano, Jr. &amp; James Darling<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Original Music by:<\/strong> John Morgan Askew<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 29 Gold Film<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2021\/09\/tiff-2021-tug-of-war-film-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TIFF 2021: \u2018Tug of War\u2019 Film Review<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI Would Never,&#8221; written, directed and starring Kiran Deol and Daniel Johnson, made its premiere in the Toronto International Film Festival\u2019s Short Cuts category and is produced by Erica Fishman, and executive produced by Deniese Davis.
