The fourth and final speech we did took place on Wednesday May 18th. The students of Al Nahda had the pleasure to meet Maitha Al Mehairbi. Maitha is an aspiring film-maker who managed to mind-blow twofour54, a current media hub in Abu Dhabi, with her creativity. She succeeded in pitching a local web series titled "Jirfah" to the creative lab at twofour54. The story of Shamsa, an Emirati girl who blogs about her daily and bittersweet life, is currently being worked on. For the time being, check out the exciting trailer below:
Maitha pointed out to the girls how even though she had many interests including: drawing. This did not stop her from implementing what she loves in her current job too. For instance, when it comes to drawing, she had to create/draw the film's storyboard. Her set of advices to the girls is what our campaign aims to achieve. They included:
We picked 5 students to go to Phase 3 and represent Al Naha by creating a feature of an Emirati talent who portrays our objective. They are:
- Amna Al Mehairi

- Mariam Al Romaithi
