The Journey
of our milestones and triumphs.
We embarked on our film beginning with a heartfelt crowdfunding video featuring our director Diyana, writing a letter to her father, Mr. Amir. This poignant start gave our followers, mentors, contributors, sponsors, partners, friends and family a glimpse into the intimate bond between a father and daughter, setting the tone for our journey.
Nearly a year later, after months of dedication and tireless effort, our vision came to life, culminating in the completion of the film. In a touching tribute to this milestone, we reached out to Diyana's father in secret, inviting him to express his thoughts in a letter dedicated to Diyana, bringing our story full circle.
This moving gesture was unveiled during our private screening event held in June 2023,
marking a fitting, tearful closure to our filmmaking journey.
We invite you to witness this beautiful narrative unfold.
Watch our video and experience the depth of a father-daughter bond that inspired both tears and triumph.
Today, it has become increasingly important to reevaluate the ways we produce our films and television programs.
To do our part, our team has decided to go green for our film production.
