"A perfectionist writer in Dubai must embrace her flaws to reclaim her voice — and let go of the love that held her back."
our short movie
Set in a hypermodern yet emotionally isolating Dubai, Everyone Has Flaws, You Just Happen to Know Mine tells the story of Carol, an aspiring writer trapped between an uninspiring job and an unstable relationship. As rejections pile up and love begins to suffocate, Carol spirals into self-doubt — until a moment of vulnerability leads her to rewrite her life as she rewrites her script.
Shot independently in Dubai by a first-time filmmaking couple with no formal crew and minimal resources, the film is both a narrative and a real-life testament to creative courage and imperfection.
A heartfelt, intimate portrait of artistic struggle and emotional resilience, the film invites us to reflect on the cost of perfectionism and the liberation that comes with authenticity.

director's note
"This film was born out of personal conflict — the tension between seeking stability and following artistic passion. With no crew, limited gear, and no industry support in Dubai, we made this film as a couple reclaiming our creative voice.
Everyone Has Flaws is about the pressure to be perfect, and the freedom that comes when you let go of that illusion. Making this film taught me that authenticity matters more than perfection. If just one person feels empowered to create after watching it, it was all worth it."
writer’s note
"I poured my fears and hopes into this script. Like Carol, I’ve felt the weight of doubt and the fear of not being enough.
This short was made with what we had — limited resources, no perfection, but full commitment. It’s raw, personal, and real. I hope people can see through the flaws and feel the heart behind it. This is my voice, imperfect but true."
