// Premiere // "Horror, in particular, is one of the few genres where the unacceptable is actually embraced. So, if 'A Fermenting Woman' got banned for pushing those boundaries, I honestly see that as a badge of honor."
@priscaaapie tells us why she is proud of having her body horror directorial debut @afermentingwoman banned by YouTube - a film following a brilliant chef who develops an incendiary new dish with a bewitching ingredient she’s convinced will save her career.

One month ago, we were SHOCKED when A Fermenting Woman got taken down on YouTube. 🙈 Despite our best efforts to appeal, YouTube’s been radio silent... but we have a sneaky suspicion the film was just TOO much for some people to handle 🥲
But don’t panic! We’ll be back before you know it. Stay tuned for the comeback! 💥
“A Fermenting Woman follows visionary chef and master fermenter, Marielle Lu (played by @sookyinleee ), who, on the brink of getting fired from her restaurant by new owners, develops an incendiary new dish with a bewitching ingredient she’s convinced will save her career.”

“For many Iranians, living outside our motherland has become increasingly difficult as we continue to confront misinformation, racism, and hatred. Motherland offers an intimate and raw portrayal of the Iranian experience in 1979, grappling with love and identity in the shadow of the revolution and the hostage crisis. Jasmin Mozaffari has crafted a powerful and stunning film that lays bare the pain and resilience of being ‘the other’ - an experience familiar to far too many. The reactions to this film have been incredibly affecting and I am deeply honored to be part of it.” - Arian Moayed
Emmy and Tony-nominated actor Arian Moayed has signed on to executive produce Iranian-Canadian director Jasmin Mozaffari’s short film drama Motherland.
“MOTHERLAND is not only an homage to my father, but to all Iranians who have sacrificed so much to find love and create a life in a new land. This film is about subverting outdated portrayals of middle eastern immigrants and highlighting our humanity, strength, and resilience. I have incredible respect for Arian as an artist and as a continued advocate for Iranian storytelling. Having him come on board MOTHERLAND is a true honor.” - Jasmin Mozaffari
