Remi R. M. Moses has been to the BFI London Festival Festival (LFF) for the last seven years. “It’s always around my birthday so I make a thing of it every year and I spend so much money,” he explains, so having his short film at the festival is a big deal, “It means a lot to me. I can't even tell you, it's like one of the top things on my vision board!”

Shot through the same frame – the windshield of a car – Hindsight follows a young man on the edge of adulthood, “It shows his purchase of the car and then eventually him selling the car,” says Remi, “But in between, there's little glimpses of life, memories that happen within the car, the relationships he builds, and eventually he's growing distant with his friends.”
The film has been awhile in the making. Back in 2019, just before Remi went to film school, writer Benny Sarpong sent him a script. Timings didn’t work but they stayed in contact and kept the project alive, securing funding from the BFI Short Film Fund after Remi graduated.

He shot the film last year, entirely in virtual production at Film Soho. “I've only ever seen volumes (enclosed stages made of LED screens that display real-time 3D environments) for commercials and high-end TV. But I've never heard of a short film that's shot on virtual production, so it was really special,” says Remi. “Technology made the shooting efficient, and it was also really nice to have a base.”

The film has a real personal connection and London feel too. Remi went to college in Poplar, and many of the background plates were shot in East London, in places where he grew up.

With his grad film Saving Art on Disney+ and Hindsight at the LFF, Remi’s on a roll. Working with the same team, he’s developing Hindsight as a TV show, and is also working with the short’s producer, Danielle Goff, on his debut feature, which centres around disability and fantasy.

Does he have any tips for filmmakers starting out? “You've got to be ready,” says Remi. “You don't necessarily need film school but you need to have the discipline to make and create things and fail at it – a lot of the time in film school, you create things that never get seen. I think nowadays you don't have to wait for permission to go out and create stuff.”

Hindsight screened as part of the I See Myself shorts programme at the BFI London Film Festival, Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October 2026. The film was funded by BFI NETWORK and delivered by Film London.
