ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
PAVUN RULL
PRODUCER / CINEMATOGRAPHOR
Haaris Chaudhry is a student at Brunel University studying Film Productions (BA) in his third and final year. Above all else, his central ambition is to persistently follow his specific passion within the film industry, and that is to always tell truly authentic, human stories while tackling complicated themes.
Storytelling has always been a genuine enthusiasm of his since a very young age, and he has spent much of his life expressing this enthusiasm as a hobby through many different mediums that include poetry, short stories, novellas, and screenplays. However, since beginning his journey as a Film Productions student at Brunel University, he’s now been granted the opportunity to convert his passion from a hobby into a career.
Over the past several years, he has developed and expanded his proficiency in handling high-end equipment, including camera, sound, and lighting gear. This further includes operating professional software such as Adobe Premiere and Ableton Live for the use of editing and film scoring respectively.
With his final project/dissertation in his last year at university on the horizon, he is aspiring to incorporate together all of what he has learned and demonstrate it through The Wrath Within Mercy, alongside four other, equally driven, team members.

Director’s Note:
​
Personally, the concept of morality has always been a keen interest of mine, and I am very excited to welcome the opportunity in attempting to take on the subject and tackle it. This is a slightly ambitious project for a student short film, however, the team and I have a great deal of belief and confidence, both in ourselves and in being able to ultimately tell an engaging story and challenge our viewers.
​
My interest in the concept of morality stems from my general interest in people. How people would react and change in certain scenarios; things people would and wouldn’t do, why they do the things they do etc. And so, I naturally developed a curiosity for things like psychology and philosophy.
​
But specifically, and in regard to the initial concept of The Wrath Within Mercy, I’d also developed another curiosity: religion. And so, I will end my director’s note with two quotes from religious texts, stemming from two different religions, which ignited my interest and played a part in the early stages of my writing process:
​
“Verily, My Mercy prevailed over My Wrath.” (Al-A`raf 7:156) – Hadith: The Meadows of the Righteous (Section 1: The Book of Miscellany)
“Mercy triumphs over judgment.” James 2:13 – New International Version Bible (Passage: Favouritism Forbidden)
