Frontline workers have faced the toughest challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic period. Now a new, short film aims to shed light on the experiences and roller coaster of emotions faced by doctors during these trying times.
The story of Zen Film Productions' Tomorrow Never Came revolves around a doctor, played by Zenofar Fathima, who finds herself in an emotional dilemma as the pandemic changes her life.
With Tomorrow Never Came, Zenofar hopes to create a narrative that also resonates with the people. "I've seen many films and PSAs (public service announcement) in the past few months, but I haven't quite seen anyone acknowledging doctors, who have put their and their family's lives on the line just so they can make sure we are safe and healthy," said Zenofar, filmmaker and CEO of Zen Film Productions.
"This PSA is dedicated to all the doctors who have shown us what it truly means to be a hero. The film also advises the general public to stay safe as the danger is still not over. We need to find a balance between going back to normal and also staying safe, which also makes a doctor's job easier. They do so much for us, and we must do this for them", she addded.
The short comes shortly after Zenofar released the Hope PSA that focused on depression and suicidal tendencies of people during the Ccronavirus, which resonated with those who had just lost their jobs or couldn't be with their families, resulting in negative thoughts and a worsening mental well-being.
However, Zenofar changes these negative thoughts and helps to channel them in a method that breeds positivity, advising audiences to find that one reason to live. The video was well received by the general public, and gave audiences of all ages and backgrounds a ray of hope.
The PSA was shot recently and is set to be released soon. For more updates on Tomorrow Never Came visit @zenofar_fathima or @Zen.Today.Dxb.
