About Under the Same Sky
A feature film directed by Anna Foerster
Aleene Khoury as Nazanine
Tony Kamren came to me with a wonderful story about a second generation Afghani-American who travels to a land he has never known to save his ten year old cousin from an arranged marriage to a local warlord.
Writing this screenplay was a journey of discovery - learning a new culture and a new way of thinking, and for me the first time I was writing someone else's story, a story they were passionate about and emotionally driven to tell their way. I loved writing this one, and exploring the terrifying world of Naim Khan and the innocent orphan girl he kidnaps - and Omar, as naive as Nazanine herself - but determined to save the cousin he has never met.
The movie was shot in 2009, directed by Award winning director Anna Foerster, but the full feature version has not been released, although I hope in due time that situation will be resolved. A short version was screened at the Tiburon Film Festival in 2010.
Director Anna Foerster.
