Immigrants and first generations often face an identity crisis. Often, people adopt the local, regional accents of where they grew up and lived and their accents from immigrant family members. Keshav Shree made a comedy short that explores the ever-changing accents in Where Are You Really From?

Here is the description of the short film:

Where Are You Really From? Follows an ambitious first-generation Indian managing director at a major London bank who loses his British accent in a stroke. Comedy ensues as he goes on a journey to relearn his accent that ignites past trauma, and he questions his identity of where is he really from?

LRM Online’s Gig Patta chatted with Keshav Shree on crafting this socially realistic comedy that mocks accents and explores his real identity in the circles.

Keshav Shree was born in India and raised in England, and he is fluent in English and Hindi. He moved around England, adopting many different accents that contributed to his acting skillset. Recently, he appeared in This England as Anil Mishra. He trained at several schools for acting, including the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. His next short film Dinner for Losers is a dark comedy about men’s loneliness—particularly in the South Asian community.
