Director Statement: As an Iraqi Director, having achieved my Masters Degree in Film Production in the UK I can use my experience to explore the values of Middle Eastern and European cultures. In Le Voyage I discuss the impact of the Saddam Regime on an individual living in fear in the UK. I explore the psychological impact in a comedic satire way. In Back To Victoria I explore the misconceptions of western society on Middle Easter living in UK. In Behind The Mirror I test Middle Eastern values on sexuality and sexual freedoms in a western setting.

Overview: A surreal drama set on Christmas Day. Sebastian spends this festive season in the hospital after being involved in a car accident. He tortures his mind and soul by reliving the moments that led him down the path of self-destruction to the present moment.
Director Statement: With the story of “The Day You Long For”, I wanted to create a somber and atmospheric experience for the audience. Delving deep into how we as individuals feel when trying to figure out our purpose within this world. The film focuses on the theme of living within the moment. A life lesson to both myself and to the viewers to stop focusing on chasing that next “big” opportunity around the corner but taking the chance to see the beauty in life in front of you.
