EGYPT | Wednesday, 6 November 2013 | Views [341] | Scholarship Entry

As an average Egyptian; i chose the safest option of having a good job with stable amount of money. Working in advertising was never satisfying for my eagerness to work on a lot of things at the same time, specially film making. One day i was too disappointed from my work and the limits that are set for me as a girl in everything, dreams, expectations & ideas. I dreamed of returning to film-making, it was when i saw an application for a story telling and short film-making, and i decided to apply. After writing the application, the last sentence was "please confirm that you will be able to attend all classes in Amman Jordan for a month". Coming from a conservative society, traveling alone was not acceptable for a 23 years old girl, i applied and managed to travel. It was the best experience i had in my life till now, i knew a lot about the world and myself, which is the main inspiration for the idea. I worked on 3 short films 2 diaries, and was assistant director in 2 documentary films. I am working in social development, and i wish to learn more to use it in my career. Scholarship gives me a chance i can hardly find in my country. film-making is like breathing through eyes
