Asher Rosen

BIOGRAPHIE

Brought up for long periods in India and Sri Lanka, Asher Rosen developed a passion for international stories that rarely get told. His own heritage as a Turkish-Russian Jew led him to work for a Romanian charity educating Romany gypsies. From here, a friend introduced him to their own NGO project in Uganda. This eventually led to Asher's first feature project, set in Uganda, based on over a year's experience in the region. This, in turn, evolved into Asher Rosen's collaboratively created debut short, Nyama. Nyama also involved a training program which allowed Asher to use his background in tutoring and teaching, developing the filmmaking skills of everyone who collaborated on Nyama. Nyama is his first short film.
