Independent filmmaking can be a daunting endeavor, with costs mounting at every stage of the production process. From preproduction planning to post-production editing, every aspect of filmmaking requires resources, and these costs can quickly add up.

We're thrilled to announce our debut film project under the banner of Bateekh: "Yerham." This poignant narrative, meaning "to have mercy on" in Arabic, delves into the raw emotions surrounding loss, grief, and family bonds.

Welcome to Bateekh, where storytelling meets social impact. As a Palestinian filmmaker hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, I've witnessed firsthand the power of narrative in shaping perceptions and driving change.
