2015 — Short Film
Blood Time
وقت الدم
A family faces the aftermath of an irreversible decision. What remains is not resolution but the quiet adjustments — the things said, and the things that stop being said.

Director's Note
I was interested in the space after the event — not the crisis itself but the way people move around each other when something has already broken. The small adjustments. What they say and what they stop saying.
- How does a family reorder itself after an irreversible event?
- What does silence carry that speech cannot?
Process
Shot with a minimal crew and available light to preserve the domestic atmosphere. Long takes to let behavior emerge without pressure.
An early attempt to let the frame hold the weight of what is not said.
