The Long Road to TO A LAND UNKNOWN
Every film has its own journey. Some take longer than others.
In this conversation recorded at the Red Sea International Film Festival, Mahdi Fleifel and I reflect on the eleven year journey of bringing TO A LAND UNKNOWN to the screen.
We talk about persistence, creative risk, the challenge of financing independent cinema and why we both believed this story deserved to exist.
Making a first fiction feature is never straightforward. Making one over eleven years requires patience, trust and a certain amount of stubbornness.
We’re delighted to finally be able to share the film with audiences around the world.
