Project Summary
In the shadow of a burning Tehran, an American photographer and an Iranian doctor find a love so defiant it becomes a threat to an empire. Capturing the raw, unyielding spirit of the 2022 revolution through the lens of a 'Reverse Exile' romance, the film explores the idea that silence can be a scream and that a look across a crowded street can be an act of war. Jin, Jiyan, and Azadî are being fast-tracked for a major international festival run (Sundance/Berlin/Cannes). Filming is scheduled for October/November 2026 (approximately 20 days) in Los Angeles, CA.
