Director Statement

📖 THE OTHER SIDE OF CURIOSITY is a powerful story about is about what happens when people do not respect the fundamental rights of others and choose to live in a totalitarian state.

📖 No matter where you go on this earth, whether we are talking about the past, present or future, people have put up walls. As long as some countries' borders, or as short as your neighbors' new 6ft fence. We are so quick to isolate!
We believe this film will highlight that we should be celebrating one anothers' differences and more importantly seeing all that we have in common. This film is about race, religion, culture, it's about every unnecessary divide in our societies.
Children, on the other side, have no boundaries. But somewhere along the way, we are starting to lose that!

🌿 The screenplay for THE OTHER SIDE OF CURIOSITY is the winner of the Let's Make It! Screenwriting Contest 4th edition.
