Posted @withregram • @shamimsarif I’d never have directed a single film without my wife and producer @hananfkattan - she just gave me this beautiful gift of the clapperboard from our new film Polarized. About an unlikely relationship between two young women in a small town, @polarized_movie explores class, economics and race and concludes that none of these should be keeping us apart… the film stars @hollydeveaux and @maxinedenis as Lisa and Dalia and I want to give a shout out to @insideoutfestival who first championed the project :) #filmmaking #movies #femaleleads #directing #womeninfilm #manitobafilm #canadianfilm #directorslife #queerstories #queerfilm #queerwomen

@faroutmagazine interview with @shamimsarif : “Writing Polarized took me back in time to when I was coming out...the world was very different. Also...the whole story of immigrants coming to a new country, making something of themselves and maybe not being as welcome as they could be, was something that was very real to me. I felt like there were a lot of ways into that story”
