HALEEMA best narrative film in WATERtown

I am so happy that HALEEMA won Best Narrative Film as well as the Audience Choice Award at the 2019 WATERtown Film Festival at the Plumbing Museum.

The film is still going strong and it’s a topic is, unfortunately, more relevant than ever regarding the current refugee crises and the increasing water scarcity around the globe.

Thank you so very much for screening and recognizing HALEEMA at this year’s festival.

GREEN wins at “Writers & Filmmakers”

I am extremely proud that GREEN is still going strong and made the first place at WRITERS & FILMMAKERS. I now have the privilege to choose one script out of the top ten short scripts that won the writers’ competition. I will keep you posted.

I also encourage all to participate in this extremely innovative concept next year where writers judge filmmakers and vice versa. Go fund yourself because the more creatives join the competition, the higher the price!
