Abu Dhabi movie maker Image Nation has revealed plans to create more locally-produced documentaries following the success of its first factual film premiere at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival.
‘As One’, a film chronicling the challenges faced by a group of autistic children in the UAE as they rehearsed for and performed a musical show, had its first public screening on Saturday.
On the sidelines of the festival, Michael Garin, CEO of Image Nation, said the Abu Dhabi-based film production company plans to significantly invest in its portfolio of documentary films and series in coming years and he urged Emiratis to submit their ideas for subjects.
“Our aim is to help create a cadre of talent in the documentary field while also recording pieces of local history,” he said. “We would encourage Emirati and Arab voices to come to us with ideas for films that should be made that capture key moments in time for the UAE. This country has many, many stories to tell but we need the help of local people in finding them. We’re humbled by the amazing response to ‘As One’ – it motivates us to seek out and produce more films based on life in the UAE.”
