with that person is going to end and that obviously affects how he goes about approaching people and meeting new people he usually avoids relationships because he knows that it's just not going to be worth it but then he meets someone and he doesn't have a vision he doesn't see the future so now it's what's going to happen with this it's about higher education tuition costs are rising so we profiled a few students and really showed the value of how important a college education is he tries to break up with her and she doesn't let him and then it ends up just being this you know my country and something that was causative about my country so i was thinking the joining classes in afghanistan and i wanted to kind of my story so i found myself getting my driving license and it's you know it's not something normal in my country and you don't see many girls driving on of last year i was stabbed by a kid because of bullying and we just won an argument and he just really didn't know what to do and so i really wanted to just kind of help kids and just know that it's not just how long how much time do you guys put into this we actually did the entire thing in one day but it was a long day but we just we got a restaurant it was all restaurant one one location one scene two actors like super basic and just complete dialogue driven and then i just added it for for like a couple  days afterwards and and i turned out good enough to be nifty which is pretty nifty a lot of work we spent so months filming it probably four or five months editing it and we started filming in january two thousand and eleven or this is our budget was really fun budget i think ninety five percent of the work comes in the last five percent of the film you know so really pushing through towards the end was kind of the challenge and that's the challenge with every film so that's what i think that's what it takes to make a film well those are yes sleepless nights to write oh totally ok
