It is always exciting to provide an update when a project is nearing completion. We are putting the finishing post-production touches on our short film, THE BRIDE, and look forward to the next phase of birthing it into the world and onto screens. Just over a year ago, what started as an exploratory conversation between myself and Alexandria-based writer, poet and cinefile, Jaylan Salman, with Jaylan presenting a story concept that she envisioned materializing into a film (based on a poem she had written), and how that aired and shared concept grew and morphed and took on a cinemagical life of its own, fusing a magnetic core of talents and kinship.

Stay tuned for further updates.

THE BRIDE
In the shadowy, cryptic and solitary world of THE BRIDE, a woman, garbed in a wedding dress and veil, directly engages the mirror and “seeing-eye” of the camera, as she confronts codified rituals and internal pressures—rooted in family, conventions and societal expectations—while undergoing a stark and dramatic metamorphosis.
