Every year at the @sundanceorg Film Festival filmmakers are given the chance to support other films and are reminded of their why for storytelling while doing so.

This is why we are still buzzing from the incredible response to “The Persian Version” at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival! We were so honored to receive the Audience Award for U.S. Dramatic, the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and the Audience Award for International Narrative Feature.

“The Persian Version” tells the story of an Iranian American woman, Leila (@laylamoha), who navigates family secrets and cultural clashes while caring for her ailing father. A story so near and dear to our mission of amplifying the voices of MENA and Muslim women.

Stream The Persian Version. Available on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Google Play.

The evolution of global storytelling is inextricably linked to our collective capacity to reclaim narratives and center voices that have long navigated the industry’s margins: this is the heartbeat of our mission at NY/LA Productions.

We are incredibly proud to share a first look from our premiere at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. This milestone represents more than a professional achievement; it is a profound assertion of cultural equity and narrative self-determination for MENA and Muslim storytellers. Standing on the Croisette, we are reminded that our stories belong on the world’s most prestigious stages, challenging traditional perceptions and fostering a new era of aesthetic innovation.

This teaser is just a glimpse of the journey. We have an array of behind-the-scenes content, creative insights, and community reflections to share with you in the coming days. We invite you to join the movement as we continue to champion authentic representation and the power of independent film.

Stay tuned for more updates from the festival.

Representation is not merely about visibility: it is about the power to shape the structures that decide which stories are told and whose voices are amplified.

NY/LA Productions is entering a pivotal new chapter as we seek to secure a board membership at the Gasparilla International Film Festival (GIFF): a move designed to ensure that MENA and Muslim perspectives are centered at the highest levels of industry decision-making. By joining the GIFF board, we move beyond the role of storyteller and into the role of architect, directly influencing the curation and cultural equity of one of the region’s most significant cinematic platforms.

This is more than a professional milestone; it is a commitment to systemic change and the self-determination of our community within the media landscape. We are currently fundraising to finalize this membership and would be honored to have your support in this mission. Join us in planting our flag at the table where the future of film is decided.

ON OUR FOUNDER, NYLA’S BIRTHDAY, Support the mission via the link in our bio.

We love talking about the ‘magic of cinema,’ but the real magic happens in the rooms where we talk about finance, distribution, and low-budget scripts that actually get made. 📝💸

Spending the weekend at the Sunscreen Film Festival wasn’t just about being on a panel; it was about demystifying the gatekeeping that keeps so many of our stories on the shelf. If we want to see more MENA and Muslim voices on screen, we have to master the engine that puts them there.

Writing a script is the dream. Knowing how to fund and distribute it? That’s the revolution. ✊🎬

Let’s get real: For the indie filmmakers out there, what’s the one part of the ‘business side’ that still feels like a total mystery to you?

In the driver’s seat of the narrative. Literally. 🎬✨

Huge thanks to @tampamagazine for the feature. We dove into the hustle of indie filmmaking, the power of MENA voices, and why I refuse to pick just one lane.

Being a leader in film means more than just directing a scene; it’s about directing the cultural conversation. We don’t need permission to be multifaceted—we just need to show up.

🎥 Filmmakers: How are you challenging the ‘one lane’ rule today? Let’s get into it.

True representation is more than a seat at the table: it is the power to build the table itself. In an era where diversity is often reduced to a corporate checklist, we must pivot toward genuine self-determination and agency.

Our latest blog, "From Screen to Stage," explores how the "production mindset" of independent filmmaking can dismantle traditional silos and foster radical collaboration: centering SWANA and Muslim voices that have long been pushed to the periphery. We are moving beyond the era of mere consultation; in 2026, the SWANA shift is no longer just a moral imperative, but a defining competitive advantage for those willing to lead with authenticity.

Success in media and corporate leadership requires us to stop navigating existing systems and start creating new ones. It is about the evolution from being seen to being the architects of our own stories.

Read the full rollout on our blog now.

Is your DEI strategy a checklist or a movement? Reclaiming agency on the corporate stage.

At NY/LA Productions, we believe true innovation stems from shifting the lens: from mere consultation to full creative agency. For too long, DEI has been treated as a static checklist rather than a dynamic movement of self-determination. By reclaiming the 'production mindset,' we move beyond the margins to the center of the frame, fostering collaboration that transcends traditional industry silos.

The SWANA shift is here, and in 2026, representation isn't just an ethical choice: it’s a competitive advantage. It’s time to stop watching and start leading.

A script is just the beginning.

Actors are the ones who transform ideas into something real.

They carry the emotion, the tension, the humanity of the story.

Without them, the film doesn’t live beyond the page.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.

Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
