The Track of the Eyelids: My Delusional Love Story

I can't find a better than here on Cups to talk about this movie I work on.

This movie is inspired by my mental illness and my experience with love delusion. I've been in pain for years because of my mental illness (schizophrenia) and a delusional love story I lived in my head. 

I have been working on every aspect of the project. It was strange to me to start the project and enter the filmmaking field with zero experience.

I changed the low-quality book I've written, including this story, to a feature film script. I reviewed the psychiatric plot with psychiatrists and psychologists besides the script reviews itself (structure and so on).

I finished a business plan which was a great struggle to start one as I have never been into business before. Studying the plan was more joyful than other activities as the profit and the distribution plan. Deciding to distribute internationally and shooting in the USA while I'm located in Egypt is difficult as well, but I have the insistence to do so to reach a wider audience.

Several documents I have worked on alone as film budget, business plan, script, pitch deck, as well as visuals like AI content, images, videos explaining the story, and voice acting, editing on software, generating AI images.

Pitching to executive producers ad investors, asking for help and posting content all over social media, and paying for ads, it was a long journey for 18 months now :D

When I showcase my work and count the achievements I have, I feel much relief and power to push forward.

Right now I'm working on producing the movie with AI. It was fun! And my eyes dropped tears when I produced scenes that touched my heart. However, producing using software and editing is very tiring.

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie one day on screens and hearing positive feedback :)
