Before there was a finished film, there was this.

A desert.
The last light of the day.
A group of people I love dearly, like Forever ❤️‍🔥

And the feeling that we were about to make something together.

These are some of my closest friends, and some of the people I’ve been lucky enough to create alongside.

I remember filming this and feeling genuinely excited. Not because I knew exactly what the film would become...

but because we were there.

Together.

Making something that didn’t exist yet.

That’s one of the things I love most about making films.

You start with an idea that only exists somewhere inside you, and then suddenly you’re standing in the desert with the people you love, watching the sun go down, and that idea begins to become real.

This is a little glimpse into where All the Things the Wind Took in California began.

I’m incredibly grateful for these people. ❤️

Every Tuesday, a trauma support group who call themselves the Bison Bitches meets in a church basement to process, grieve, and chant. Jan sits at the edge with bad coffee and a thousand-yard stare. Across the circle is Anne - thirty-two going on thirteen, a pastor’s daughter who won’t seem to stop talking.

By the time group lets out, Anne has decided: the two of them are going to be friends. Jan can’t shake her.

As the night goes on, a bond forms. Blood is shed. And two women who spent their lives trying to heal, decide they’d rather bite back, as the line between healing and vengeance blurs behind them.

ANNE & JAN is a pitch-black comedy about revenge, friendship, and female rage. . . Please note - our brilliant cinematographer @sonofarich name was accidentally misspelled in the credits of the trailer. The correct spelling is Richie Yau. We have adjusted the trailer and are issuing this correction on social media!!

Grateful to @pakistanicinemaa for this honor. It truly means a lot.

I couldn’t have done it without the multi-talented @zuhaib.khan and @shanigaffer12 and his @popa_rental team. Lot of thanks to my camera team from @lcg_rentals, @hasan.asif.ali and @iam_islam_ud_din for their beautiful camera movement, and the rest of the crew for making this all possible. To @wahabdanka , thank you for the wonderful color grade. It was truly a team effort.

And thank you @hkmalik and @fawadkhan81 for taking a chance on me and @amaarrasool for trusting me with your vision and story. by @sonofarich
