Who knew we'd come this far?
That's the thought that has been lurking in my head since I saw a trailer of a movie called "City Of Life". City Of Life, is Dubai's first ever international feature by the director Ali F. Mostafa. I've heard about this feature a few months back. I thought it'd turn out to be "a longer version of a series" sort of movie , but boy was I wrong. I saw the trailer, and not yet the movie, but it certainly blew my mind. When I was eight years old , i've always wanted to be a filmmaker, and I sort of achieved that dream in a very low scale. Yet at the time, i've looked up to filmmakers of the likes of Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton. But now, I finally get to say that i just might be inspired by a local and Arab talent. It brings me great joy to know that finally being a filmmaker is NOT impossible, for it's happening right before my eyes. I'm 13, and I believe that age is just a number. When I watched "The City Of Life" Trailer, i finally believed truly that i can, in fact, be an Oscar winning director in the future.
I hope I get a chance to see the film in cinemas soon, and till then,
Dubai Abulhoul.
i can't wait too... Whatever you write in your blog is a masterpiece itself!
