So many people struggle with mental health and just by looking at them, you wouldn't know. She's Gone is a film that tackles the internal battle that so many people face, without it manifesting in a way that other people can pick up on. I wanted to create a film that uses fantastical realism to showcase what it feels like to dissociate and have a panic attack. And most importantly, as a Muslim woman, I wanted a story where a Muslim is struggling with her mental health, which is a topic that still isn't discussed enough in our community.
