Sending

Sending

2026 • 16 min • Egypt
“Sending...” is an experimental short film that takes Cairo as its hidden protagonist. Rather than relying on a conventional plot or clearly defined main characters, the film builds its world through vivid real-life images from the city’s streets: traffic, public transport, the heat of the day, restless faces, crowded markets, and the loneliness of night. Through a series of voice messages sent from one person to another, the film listens to scattered human moments: joyful news, sudden loss, postponed longing, unspoken love, daily exhaustion, and the ache of exile. As the day gradually moves into night, Cairo emerges not as a mere backdrop, but as a living presence in every word, breath, and silence. The film is an attempt to capture the beauty hidden inside a country that may appear exhausting from the outside, yet remains deeply rooted in the hearts of its people. In the end, “Sending...” becomes a love letter to Egypt as it is truly lived: noisy, weary, intimate, and unforgettable.
VISCERAL

VISCERAL

2025 • 18 min • Italy
I define VISCERAL as a "body-horror drama" because, in the structure of the screenplay, the rules of the horror genre are evident, resulting in a dramatic story of infected flesh and blood. The protagonist is the tragic and devastating image of the STALKER, but above all he is an incel—an Involuntary Celibate—attracted to that Toxic Manosphere that few people know about yet, but which represents the dangerous "virtual ecosystem" where misogyny, sexism, and outright hatred of women spread. In the short film, he is represented by the figure of FECCIA XX, who will lead him to cross the moral and rational limits of sexual frustrations and paraphilias, reaching a tragic and bloody finale. Therefore, a second chapter that continues to explore, as in the previous MAGNIFICA CREATURA, the theme of FEMINICIDE, but much more deeply and with greater attention, focusing on the male figure, scrutinizing the darkness of the human soul. The abyss, where our inner monster lies, patiently waiting to be summoned. It's important to note that the short film draws inspiration from Ricardo Lopez—Björk's Stalker—and the first vlogger in contemporary history—and from the mass murderer Elliot Rodger, as well as figures like Andrew Tate and the Milwaukee Cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer. I am certainly not the first to consider the Horror genre as the true and only vehicle capable of making politically visible what has been evident for decades... The true EVIL of the 21st century is Mental Illness and if this is not diagnosed, treated and managed by those who govern us, we will have more and more human tragedies that far exceed cinematic fiction.

This three-minute film provides a haunting look at human indifference. The entire story unfolds inside a moody, dimly lit 1930s European café, where elegant patrons and their children sit in a bubble of willful ignorance. Dressed in slightly surreal elegance —highlighted by striking pops of red, like a woman’s cloche hat and a central character's crimson coat—they spend their time smoking, gossiping, and lounging in total comfort.

Occupied

2026 • 26 min • Brazil
In the women's restroom of a small urban mall, the couple Ana and Carlos seek a moment of forbidden intimacy in a desperate attempt to save their marriage. What they planned as a quick, passionate encounter, however, turns into a claustrophobic trap. As they try to reconnect, they are interrupted by a succession of women, each one carrying a world of private crises into that anonymous space. Sobbing, unexpected confessions, and a growing tension from outside the stall force the couple to listen to the dramas of strangers—dramas that gradually become a cruel mirror of their own relationship. OCCUPIED is a short film about the secrets we keep, the truths we blurt out, and the loneliness that persists even in the most crowded places. Blending acidic realism with psychological suspense, the film transforms a banal setting into a powerful microcosm of contemporary anxieties and hypocrisies.

In the video the theme of the journey is the focus, from the beginning there is a reference to the eternal cycle of the seasons and then we move on to the actual journey of our storyteller, alternating between internal and external trips, until the end of the story which ends with the metamorphosis into a free spirit who starts another journey...

Joseph The Brahmin

2026 • 21 min • Australia, Pakistan
Set in **Madras (now renamed to Chennai) 1953**, *Joseph, The Brahmin* , Based on the real life of this writer's father, is a tender, decades‑spanning drama about love that defies caste, faith, and family tradition. Venky, a young Brahmin pharmacist, meets Maria, an Anglo‑Indian Christian girl caring for her ailing father. A quiet exchange at the hospital window becomes the beginning of a profound connection. Their innocent meetings grow into a heartfelt romance—one strong enough for Venky to challenge the rigid boundaries of his upbringing. When Venky asks for Maria’s hand, he faces fierce resistance from his orthodox family. Choosing love over lineage, he leaves home, converts to Christianity, and becomes **Joseph**. The couple marry without his parents’ blessing and build a life together—raising children, working hard, and holding onto each other through every storm. Years later, a legal notice forces Joseph to confront the family he left behind. What begins as a tense reunion slowly unravels buried truths: Maria reveals Joseph’s mother was once an abandoned Anglo‑Indian child who converted to survive. The family’s prejudice is shattered by the weight of its own history. In a deeply emotional climax, Joseph’s parents finally accept Maria and their grandchildren, recognising that love—not caste, not religion—defines a family. *Joseph, The Brahmin* is a moving story of identity, sacrifice, and reconciliation. It explores how love can challenge generations of division—and ultimately heal them.
