Streetmeet 12

Hi Suha nice to meet you
Why did you move out here
Hi Boris I used to live in the city and loved
being in my own bubble but after my cancer
diagnostics I moved to Rockaway because
I needed a horizon and I wanted to be close
to my parents who live out here

Only closest friends knew about my cancer
This situation made me feel uncomfortable in
my own body which was a tough experience
That was during the pandemic and looking
back now it was definitely better being out
here than in a locked down city

How do you feel at the moment
Better but before I kind of lost trust in my life
and I’m still not ready letting go and open up
to the world completely and show my scar
I’m kind of holding on to something
You will know when its time to rock again

How do you approach writing as a director
I mainly do fiction and drama where writing
is a very big part including a lot of rewriting
It develops over time like a puzzle and at the
end only you know when its truly done
I really want to finish my Palestinian movie
A heart project that is very important to me

Lets do a picture here
You know Boris maybe I’m ready to open up
a little bit and show my scar from the surgery
You’ll be the first one taking a picture of me
after all the time and it’s such a nice light
right now

It was a really nice day with you out here
You know the last photographer who took
my portrait got very famous after
Lol yeah I take it and one last thing
before I ferry back I heard you like tapes
Oh yes I love analog tapes have a lot of em
in my car and all my friends know me for this
