FEEDBACK
I knew I could rely on you.
The team was very happy to meet you.
You made it look easy and I loved how it turned out.
WHY I SAID YES
The title captivated me. I kept wondering what was this “no longer”.
It spoke to me, as I have myself travelled into this space I like to call the “in-between”.
The location of the movie bore significance as I had been to the places mentioned and filmed; I knew the where the shops were located, I visited the Rachid Karami International Fair, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, multiple times, and been inside the structures, the destroyed quarters, under the dome, playing with the echo of my voice.
I felt that I belonged in the project.
