Director Statement

Every single time I demand to write a screenplay probably the source of inspiration would be a novel that I have read or something that I have seen and this impressive connection is a temptation for me to write. The sparkle of this screenplay was another story that I had been writing about a man that is suffering from Schizophrenia, and something suddenly sprang to my mind that what if The main character of the screenplay would be a theater actor? What if this theater actor suffers from this disorder on account of playing numerous roles?
This stimulated me to grab my pen and write turmoil of my hazy thoughts down. In the process of creating I had an informative conversation with one of my friends and we both came up with the same idea called ‘LOVE’.
Love could be a splendid destination for such a story. With this perspective that only love can lead to fly and growth or perhaps even versus it can cause the fall and despair.
Love is an essential issue.
It is identical with being at the razor’s edge.
This idea that drained my attention Reminded me of the play “with The Scorched Caravan “ by Alireza khoshk Jalali, my prominent master. That's the reason why our Tale revolved around that mentioned play.
I’ve pledged myself to make a movie with a poetic atmosphere as well as fear but a hopeful one simultaneously! Even though I have no clue if I came up trumps or not!
Ali Dashti’s character fell in love but some hindrances didn’t allow this love to shine and meet a fairy tale.
In a nutshell here is the question:
Should this loss lead him to isolation? or should it be an inspiration to maintain and keep going?
