Unbraided, my debut feature film is selected for development at the feature films program by @redseafilm alongside incredibly talented teams.
Excited to start this journey, and see how far we can take it with the amazing producer @shaayu .

I’ve legit struggled to come up with a badass caption for these 🔥 portraits by @laurentakespix at Slamdance this year and can’t do justice ! How would you caption it?!

Taking a quiet moment midweek to reflect on the past few weeks with @dubaimediacouncil ’s initiative - and feeling incredibly grateful to have my series selected alongside 8 other remarkable projects from across the region, chosen from a highly competitive pool nationwide.
A heartfelt thank you to the @dubaifilmsandgames@amazonprime and @nftsfilmtv for such a thoughtful and enriching experience.
Excited to see all our projects continue to grow into production as we carry these stories forward. 🚀

Karupy was made with deep care - exploring family dynamics and the silences that often shape our lives, while centering a community rarely seen on screen with this kind of tenderness.
The film was developed and produced with the support of @cfccreates , whose belief in the project helped bring this story to life.
Stories like this matter. Representation matters. Being seen - truthfully, fully, and without compromise matters.
To the CSA voting members, thank you for taking the time to consider our film. Your support helps push these stories forward and would mean a great deal to our team and to the community whose story we carry. ❤️
