Profile

Crimson Black Productions is the brainchild of award-winning Writer, Director, Editor, Elcid Asaei. Born out of his passion for films and filmmaking, the label develops and produces diverse visual content ranging short films, music videos, brand promos and showreels.

Passionate about visual storytelling, Elcid followed an MA in Film at UCL with a spell in journalism and photography, before making his filmmaking début with the award-winning ‘Revolutionary Roads’, which premiered at Sheff Doc/Fest and won Current TV’s ‘Short Cuts’.

2026 is a big year for Crimson Black Productions, with pre-production on the thought-provoking short drama (‘Ball Shoot‘), techno-body horror short (‘Happy Face’), and two feature-length projects: surrealist animation (‘The Cage‘), and neo-horror thriller (‘Second Coming‘).

The Cage is an in-development animated feature film that explores the question of what is “freedom”. Inspired by the writers’ childhood memoirs and contemporary issues around global conflicts, environmental disasters, forced migration and societal divisions, this original new voice in cinema is both personal and universal, and aims to provoke the mind and captivate the imagination.

A synopsis and more details about this project are coming soon…
