My name is Mahmoud Ftaimeh. I'm an English teacher and a graduate of English Literature. I was born in Baniyas, Syria, and currently live in Istanbul, Turkey. Storytelling has always been a way for me to explore emotion, humor, and the strange beauty of life. Still Here is my debut short film script—a project that blends black comedy with surrealism and quiet
Still Here was born from a quiet question: What if someone did everything right and still wasn’t chosen? I didn’t want to write a story about a villain or a hero—I wanted to write about a boy stuck in-between, in that strange waiting room called life. This film is not about justice or injustice. It’s about absurdity, stillness, and how we learn to smile without answers.
