Director Statement

"Fiddlestick!", is about nonsense, absurdity of life, and decisions we have to make
- Told by friends who question many aspects of existential angst
- A state most of us examined during the COVID pandemic and over the ensuing years. The production design of the short film was intended to take place in Eid Al-Adha, with the Prayers and Takbeerat Al-Eid in the background at the very start of the film, in a parallel metaphor reflecting all the lives we sacrificed during the pandemic towards a new beginning and a new world.
