in merging

I made this short for my experimental film class in college. The assignment was to create a film that represented yourself, so I came up with this concept on the train ride home. It was a last minute assignment so I quickly shot some footage on my Iphone before I hopped off the train and then went home and wrote, recorded my dialogue, got my friend to help me record the arabic portion of the dialogue, and edited it all in about 3 hours. Despite it being so last minute and quick, I still come back to this film years later and find it the most accurate representation of myself as an artist. Both in theme and aesthetic.
