Reflection

Reflection is a short film that reflects how others see us in relation to who we actually are, and that nobody is or ever will be perfect in others' eyes. As Lamis closes her eyes she realizes that everything that happens in her head isn't true, and that she shouldn't compare herself to other people, and not everything we see is the truth.

Director Statement

The idea of making a short film with meaning has always been on my mind, but it was always too hard to make because of time, resources, etc... I met Lamis at my school in Berlin and invited her over. She was telling me that she was planning on making a short movie for school, so she showed me what she had written, and from that moment on, I loved the idea, and we expanded the script till we were satisfied. The challenge of making this film was being given 3 weeks to create a short from A to Z, where the main character had never been on camera before, but I enjoyed working with Lamis since she's so friendly and likable. The assistant director was Monique Albrecht, my best friend who is also in the same class as me. This is a movie that will always hold a special place in my heart due to the really important message behind it: we shouldn't value ourselves by the standards of others, as everyone is unique in their own way.
