A HARD NUT TO CRACK An interview with Ehsan Bhatti “Peanut Head” trailer dir. Ehsan Bhatti @cooksdj prod. Riff Raff @riffrafffilms Riff Raff director Ehsan is anything but a conventional filmmaker. From flogging halal chicken legs in his dad’s butcher’s shop to DJing UK garage and studying architecture, his route behind the camera has been gloriously unpredictable. His latest short, Peanut Head, turns the indignities of growing up between cultures into a riotously surreal coming-of-age comedy, complete with a grotesque culinary concoction, a giant peanut-shaped head and a delirious mix of live action, claymation and VFX. We crack open the world of Ehsan to discover how humour became his way of tackling uncomfortable truths, why being an outsider shaped his filmmaking and what makes a janky puppet more moving than a million perfect pixels.

Had a lovely chat with @lbbonline x @livvy_atkins about the making of PEANUT HEAD, turning cultural baggage into a psychedelic fever dream, building bonkers little worlds and the joys (and occasional madness) of independent filmmaking. ‘’Long before lentils had their wellness makeover, the playground consensus was that my lunch looked more flushable than edible. Cruel? Absolutely. But then again, whose mum thought putting soup between two slices of bread was a good idea? ‘’ P’s head is quite literally swollen with the insecurities, frustrations and anxieties of not fitting in. Everything he’s desperate to keep inside is on full display. Growing up, everyone at school was some kind of head. Potato head, egg head, cuboid head. Nobody’s skull was safe. ‘’PAs weird tongue tic, for instance, was nicked from a producer friend who’d flick his tongue out like a snake after every sentence. An EP and I used to crease over it, knowing it would end up in a script someday.’’ ‘’He has this knack for using satire to challenge how people think, making you laugh along before you realise he’s taking the piss out of you. And he genuinely practises what he preaches.’’ @munyachawawa ‘’The big experiment was throwing those gloriously weird, maximalist cultural peculiarities into a world that was part fairytale, part Tatooine, part psychedelic fever dream, all through the eyes of a kid having an almighty identity meltdown.‘’ ‘MEven the sound design was a playground, with composer @composedbyjoe conjuring a fantastical score from obscure instruments neither of us could pronounce, while sound designer @jim_db went as far as farting into a microphone to get some otherworldly foley... IN-SANE!’’ ‘’There’s something wonderfully childlike yet unsettling about stop-motion, where things stretch, mutate and explode, much like a teenager’s brain turning minor embarrassments into existential disasters.’’ ‘’Especially when Al can conjure up ‘spectacle’ on demand, there’s something exciting about doubling down on the raw, unpredictable, analogue side of filmmaking.’’ ‘’Ultimately, the scarier the world gets, the lighter I want to make it. I’ve always loved that Spielbergian sense of wonde 13 Oct 2026

PEANUT HEAD (SHORT FILM TRAILER) Starring @MunyaChawawa Written & Directed by Ehsan Bhatti @cooksdj CRACKING SOON… PEANUT HEAD is an offbeat dark coming-of-age comedy about fitting in. P finds himself caught in the clash between the schoolyard and the dinner table. As if being a teenager wasn’t hard enough, try doing it with a weird-shaped head and an even weirder family. The odd one out wherever he turns and whoever he turns to, he’s on a mission to belong... whatever it takes!
