The Journey of migration and identity, this film was shot not knowing what direction it was going to lean into, but after being home, (Bahrain) , I had a moment of reflection.

This Film is for you.

My Parents,

you met as cabin crew, and mum took the brave step of starting a new life in a foreign country. Raising me and my siblings while flying between two families. You both made countless sacrifices, from travelling to build our family connections to restarting everything for us. Thank you for giving me such a unique story to share- one that resonates with many who have walked a similar path. I treasure the memories that I now hold in two homes, I’m forever grateful to both of you for starting your careers in cabin crew. The journey it has been figuring out where I belong but just to mature to learn that I belong to both, understanding the journey of identity, the airport, my friend, you made this all possible.

An interview with Ishaq Madem,

We planned to do a shoot together where I grew up in Bahrain, my compound wasn't the most pleasent of locations however it offered its place in both of our stories as this collaboration deepend our connection with the indusrty and the Middle East, representation on what it is like in the industry and how thats progressed. I decided to bring along my camcorder and filmed him in his element and asked him a few questions.
