This looks great Mr. Anbessa. Congratulations on your hard work. I am proud of you!
great characters and a very good story. but i have two Q. why do you call this ‘habesha life’ since there is no a single event that i as an habesha man can identify with. offcours the story has universality and plenty of human elements in it . however it’s too far fetched to call it habehsan life. Q2 . i love natural colors such as your film is made of, but don’t you think you are using too much of it for modern oudience? great work guys.
Your aesthetic vision always comes through. I think this is your strongest asset. If you can structure it into a parallel dialogue to your story-lines you will launch something very unique indeed. So it is in the beginning when we are searching for our voices.
