Darker and more introspective than the medium of film allows, the novel is written from the perspective of Suad and interspersed with entries from Al-Maria\u0026rsquo;s production diary. It also features production research, emails, budgets, kit-lists, schedules, sketches, storyboards, headshots and excerpts from the shooting script.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://moussemagazine.it/sophia-al-maria-cornerhouse/\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":2738,"name":"Sophia Al-Maria","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
