The Sun Never Sets is out in theaters today 🫶🏼
We spent last spring in Anchorage making this special movie and we hope you all love it. The characters are all so real and likable, as is the cast and crew who made it all happen.
Joe Swanberg is 1 of 1 and if you haven’t seen any of his work, this is the best one to start with.
Huge shout out to my mom @kathygitibin I love making movies with you💌❤️ taken in Anchorage, Alaska by @arianaparsa

last year we made a film about what it feels like to grow up under the great wings of an immigrant mother and the importance of friends who can grow with you. the two of us met in the third grade, and to have created this film together will be something that we will always cherish.

we are excited to share that “Chingu? Doost.” will premiere at @breck_film on September 19th. if you plan on being at the fest, tickets to our screening can be found at the link in our bios. if you are unable to attend, we will keep you posted about our future screenings!!

love,
ariana + eumin xx
