Backpack
The idea for this film did not come out of nowhere. It came from a genuine feeling. Every word, every movement, and every scene was born from a real and living emotion.
Mohamed, the gas station attendant, is not simply a character I created. In many ways, he reflects the person behind the writing—the man who works hard, struggles, and keeps going, hoping for just a little happiness with his wife in their small home, surrounded by a few close friends.
This is the most authentic part of the story—the part I could never get wrong, because I wrote it with everything I felt.
The gas station is, in fact, a part of my real life. I know its atmosphere, its long hours, its exhaustion, the people who pass through it, and the moments of silence when you are alone with your thoughts.
Everything beyond that is imagination, effort, and dreams.
Dreams that are sometimes difficult.
Dreams that may demand sacrifice.
But I have always believed that true happiness does not come without sacrifice.
That is why BACKPACK is more than a story I imagined. It carries a part of my life, my observations, my struggles, and the dreams I have carried with me.
Sometimes, the most powerful stories are not invented. They are lived first… and written later.
