From New York’s Central Park and Brooklyn to Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat…
From not receiving any support and being discouraged from making this film in New York, to producing the film independently and returning to present it to the New York audience…
It was a dream come true to present my film at the festival where my two worlds collide!
Exactly two years ago, two film students poured their hearts into making this film and producing it in New York entirely independently and on their own. This film was a testament to our passion and love for filmmaking; and a personal story I wanted to tell at the time. The city plays an important character in the film and it would not have been possible to make it anywhere else. I am deeply grateful to everyone who supported us and believed in us and the project when it was most needed.
Although our NYC premiere took place in October last year, this festival and screening were particularly special to me.
It was an honour to be part of the 20th edition of BHFF and be selected among such an inspiring group of filmmakers and 14 films in the official selection!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at the BHFF for providing a platform for young filmmakers to promote their works!
Big thank you to the coolest professor at NYU, my actress in the film and my dear friend, Grace Kiley. Thank you to my producers, Vid and Ana! Thank you to my entire crew and cast in New York and Abu Dhabi! And thank you to our mentor, Wendy Bednarz, for always believing in us!
