The anthology shot during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown features contributions from Alexis Zabé, Ashley Connor, Soledad Rodríguez, Stefano Falivene, Antoine Héberlé, and Abbas.[3] [4]
“There is no theme. Film whatever you want, however you want, with whomever you want.” This is the message that Egyptian filmmaker Sam Abbas sent to his favorite cinematographers as an invitation to contribute to his new film.[5] The film is one of the first projects of Maxxie, Suzzee, & Cinema (a production company in France)[6]
