Reema Maya,\u00a0writer-director of the film says<\/strong>,<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI am very grateful to Sundance for their continued support. Getting nominated the first time was a life-long dream come true, I never even imagined being a two-time Sundance nominated filmmaker. It has helped me believe more in my voice and the stories I want to tell. Sundance 2018 was life-changing. I can\u2019t wait to see what Sundance 2023 has in store for us!<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Michael Y Chow, Producer of the film says, \u201c<\/strong>It is an honour and a pleasure to support Reema Maya’s second short film at Sundance Film Festival.\u00a0We were introduced to Reema through our Sundance x XRM Shorts Initiative Program and immediately saw something special in her as a rising international filmmaker.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n
Sue Turley, Executive producer of the film says,\u00a0<\/strong>“Having the immense pleasure of working with Reema this past year, I saw first-hand the raw talent and gifted storyteller she is.\u00a0 Excited to share\u00a0Nocturnal Burger\u00a0with the world at the Sundance Film Festival 2023 and bring this year’s only Indian Short to the festival.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n
