Multiple BAFTA-Nominated ‘Rocks’ Team Reveals Film’s Evolution, Journey (EXCLUSIVE)
Naman Ramachandran Sarah Gavron’s “Rocks” is nominated for seven BAFTAs as well as a BAFTA EE Rising Star Award for its lead Bukky Bakray. Variety sat down with Gavron, nominated in the directing and British film categories, Theresa Ikoko, nominated alongside co-writer Claire Wilson for debut and original screenplay, Bakray, leading actress nominee, and Lucy Pardee, casting nominee, to discuss the film’s evolution and process.“Rocks” was shot in the summer of 2018, with the prep beginning more than a year before that, but even now the “Rocks” women-majority crew is a tightly knit team, often completing each others’ sentences.
