A new limited edition book will go behind the scenes of Naeem Mahmood’s Gods of Their Own Religion, charting the making of a grandiose, yet stunningly complex dystopian feature produced with zero budget, no script and breaking every rule in the film book.
Disarmingly candid and fearlessly honest, it’s a rarefied ‘access all areas’ pass into the creative process of delivering a feature film against staggering odds, and how cinematic obsession and pure-unbridled audacity can push the limits of what filmmakers can achieve.
This book reveals all the filming secrets, behind-the-scenes images, and the most memorable moments. Quotes from the Gods of Their Own Religion creative team and cast round out the images, providing context and an insightful, inspiring look at the inner-workings of this daring production.
