What wouldn’t you do to speak to your late loved one once again?
The indie short film Mervette is funding NOW on Seed and Spark

(January 30, 2023, New York, NY) Egyptian Immigrant Indie Filmmaker Mahmoud AbdelHamid has launched a funding campaign for his second short film, a heartfelt horror drama Mervette. While an estranged Egyptian immigrant (Mahmoud) is facing the constant struggle of being away from home and family, living alone in the USA, he was presented with a chance to see his late mother (now younger than him) who died when he was two years old. Only to find out that his first ever conversation with his mother wasn't as cheerful as he hoped. As the people who brought her back from the dead have ulterior motives. After all, those that come up with a technology that defeats death are trying to escape from something natural, dreadful, and necessary. The campaign is live and you can see more about it at https://seedandspark.com/fund/mervette#story

Writer Director Mahmoud AbdelHamid commented “Mervette is a tribute film to my mother, to people who lost a loved one, and to death. The incentives for our campaign reflect our goals so that everyone involved can let their loved ones live on through our film. And to capture their memory with dignity and respect. The movie is set in present time , however it aims to accurately reflect how different Egypt was then especially for women. We remember the good whenever possible.” The screenplay is complete. A breakdown of where all funds will be utilized can be seen here at https://seedandspark.com/fund/mervette#wishlist.

About Mervette:
Mervette is a 15 minute conversation between an immigrant, his late mother, and the people who brought her back from the dead. As if the struggles of being away from the family back home aren't enough, the people who made that meeting possible had ulterior motives.
