QF Class of 2019 Film: We are Education City
Every year, Qatar Foundation makes a film about its graduating students to be shown at their Convocation Ceremony. I had the honor to direct the QF Class of 2019 Film with an incredibly talented team.
Goal: To tell the story of graduating students from 9 universities and over 60 programs within Qatar Foundation's Education City.
We started our brainstorming sessions with a question:
"What if we fused all students into one, what would this students experience be like?"
From here, we decided to blur the lines between students, majors and universities to tell one story- a story relatable to anyone who's been through an arduous journey. A journey full of beautiful moments, and full of sad ones. A journey with lessons learnt, fears faced and dreams reached. This story is a collection of nostalgic memories from QF's class of 2019.
