I chose to tell the story of Mixed Signals to explore the rich yet often misunderstood dynamics of Arab culture and its contrasts with Western ideals. Inspired by personal experiences, the film delves into cultural perceptions of marriage, and love, highlighting the struggles of navigating tradition versus personal choice. By addressing themes of belonging and diversity, Mixed Signals aims to challenge harmful stereotypes and offer an authentic perspective on Arab life. In a world yearning for cross-cultural understanding, this story fosters dialogue about our shared humanity, reminding us that relationships, though shaped by culture, transcend boundaries and unite us all.
