Filmmaking is rarely a one-person job. Even when the responsibility sometimes lies with one person, the journey itself is carried by many. And I’m incredibly grateful for every pair of shoulders that carried this one with me.
This is a shoutout to everyone who made this film possible, shaped it, and turned it into what it is. I’m so proud of what we created together. ❤️
My biggest thank you goes to my best friend of a lifetime, @farkh0d . You didn’t just do an incredible job behind the camera — you were our driver, translator, shade provider in the desert, the person who always listened, and the one who made us feel safe through every sandstorm. This film simply wouldn’t be the same without you.
@yazan.neme , you kept our little herd together. Always in the right place at the right time. Well… maybe not when you walked through the shot. 😄 But your eyes and ears caught so many of the moments that mattered. Thank you for supporting us on every level, for this incredible journey, and for always being there.
@papenoble , even though we missed you on the road, you were with us the whole way. You believed in us and in this idea, supporting us from different corners of the world.
Huge thanks to @juliankolb_ and @dustin_hasberg for the amazing drone and sound work that helped bring this film to life.
And a special shoutout to @mgs.colors for the beautiful colors and for giving this film its very own glow. ✨
And of course no film without music: @rickykej made most of this beautiful songs and I’m so grateful working with you. Thank you! 🙏

And most importantly, thank you to UNCCD and the entire team for making this possible in the first place — for believing in this journey, pushing the idea forward, and supporting us every step of the way from behind the scenes. And none of this would have happened without Xenya. Every journey starts with an idea, and this one started with yours. Thank you for believing in it, nurturing it with so much passion and care, and for bringing together the incredible people who made it all possible.
It really took a village.
And I still can’t believe we actually made this. ❤️
