"I am really looking forward for this residency provided by Filmlab. On a personal level I think having three months dedicated for writing is very valuable. The way our industry is designed it never allows you to give your project its full capacity, you always find yourself multitasking and juggling jobs to survive. Its also great for the project to get exposed at this stage in a safe environment that respects the writing process. It couldn't have come at a better time, and I hope to make the best out of it." Rama Mari, Palestinian filmmaker.
