Director Isher Sahota arrives on Directors Notes’s pages with his new short film Goodnight Henry, a biting satire set in the world of Victorian politics. The story concerns the Prime Minister’s advisor who stumbles upon his boss in scandalous circumstances having met his demise. It then becomes the job of the advisor to maintain a level of decorum whilst managing the national trade deals that had been up for discussion. The joy of watching Sahota’s short is in the tonal balance he achieves, the jokes aren’t hammed up for comedic attention and instead arise out of the seriousness of how his characters react to their farcical situations. Dn is excited to premiere Goodnight Henry online in conjunction with a discussion with Sahota where he talks about period locations, casting and the challenge of achieving that unique tone through a combination of camera movement, rhythmical editing, and precise performances.
