It's not everyday you get a Magnum Photographer like @myriamboulos to visit your film set and take some behind the scenes pictures! It's moments like these that make you worry if the catering is good enough. Thank you for making us look awesome <3

We just got off the set of my latest film (untitled flower power film). I was so lucky to work with the coolest crew on the planet! A crew that doesn't leave the set after wrap, they leave post-midnight once everyone is drunk enough to be hungover the next day! (except for Rudi who doesn't believe in sleep)

I'm so fortunate to have shared this magical experience with these lovely folks:

It's been few months since we premiered at @redseafilm, and our little film has made quite a tour since. From Serbia, Nepal, Clermont-Ferrand in France, Los Angeles, Stockholm until our recent win 'Best Acting Ensemble' at Berlin Lift-Off Film Festival.

Our next stop is in shorTS IFF in Trieste, Italy in June. Can't wait to bring it home and screen in Beirut soon!

It's weird to talk about films while we're still collecting the remains of our homes, but we made a little film that will be premiered at @redseafilm next week at the Shorts Competition.

I'm so lucky to have worked with these amazing talents to bring this thing to life, and I hope the dust settles enough to do this again and again.

𝗧𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 | 𝟮𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌟

It’s always a pleasure to be back at @tiranafilmfest! Last week, #SayonaraFilm was at the Festival’s 24th edition to present our Distribution Award for the 5th edition of 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗜𝗙𝗙. The award went to Lebanese project 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼 by @ranithefirst, which also won the AM Production Award.

The contest has already led to a very important collaboration: 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲, premiered this year at #TIFF2026 in the 𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 competition - written by @ylljet.alicka1 and directed by @enrikohamzaj - is distributed by us and co-produced with @teo_film._, after winning our Distribution Award last year!

Many thanks to #TiranaFilmFest for the invitation and, as always, for the warm hospitality! See you next year ✨
