The film can be described as a kaleidoscope of memories depicting the simple follies and nostalgia of expatriate life in the Middle East. It is a personal memoir and one of my initial introductions to ethnographic film.

The project was particularly interesting given the time period in which it was filmed. Through the pandemic, life can be seen through an interesting and peculiar lens that offers a deeper question as to what it actually meant and was like to grow up in Dubai.

Accompanying the 10-minute short film, I produced a 10,000 word thesis exploring Cinema Verité and its suitability for this specific project. Cinema Verité was an important and refreshing take on documentary film, which reinvigorated my spark for documentary work and supported my ability to produce a large-scale, successful docuseries with Adidas.

I have developed similar projects exploring cultural institutions in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to working on anthropological films as a researcher at the Global Institute for Peace at the University of São Paulo. I hope to produce an anthropological recount like Black Palms on my time at Stanford.
