New project announcement: Maktoub is now in development. After securing a large part of the budget and completing a location scout in Tangier, Morocco, we’re moving forward with this impact film about abuse, migration and resilience.
The team has just returned from Tangier, where key locations were secured and our lead, Anouar, was cast (stay tuned for more information regarding the casting). Enjoy some photos from their week in Morocco!
