Introduce Yourself : Helloo!! Turning a true story into a series by Hagar Alsaan

Helloo!! Turning a true story into a series

its based on my family’s story (my mom is the main character)

and i would love some advice on this!

it talks about mental abuse, control, forced marriage, trauma, betrayal, death of beloved ones and overall family problems and mental health.

i’m not a professional writer but i believe that this story can connect with other people.

i would love to connect with screenwriters, filmmakers or anyone that could help with this. I’m open to advice or collaborations.

I live everything about this. As a mother, it’s so touching you want to tell your own mother’s story. There’s so much power and beauty in that. Can’t wait to watch!
