Screenwriting : Greetings from Istanbul – Screenwriter & Novelist by Nasrin Jafari

"Welcome, Nasrin! That sounds like a powerful and deeply moving project. Wishing you all the inspiration and success on this creative journey!"

welcome Nasrin. Your project sounds both meaningful and deeply personal. Stories that explore autism, family, and resilience can have such a powerful impact when told with authenticity. Wishing you all the best as you develop the feature, and I'd like to connect with you.

I’d love to stay connected. Are you mainly focused on screenwriting right now, or are you also working on the novel version?

Thank you so much, Laura. I truly appreciate your kind words and support. At the moment, my main focus is on developing the screenplay. The story was originally inspired by personal experiences, and I believe it has strong potential as a feature film. However, I am also open to exploring a novel version in the future. I would be happy to stay connected and learn more about your work as well.

hi Nasrin,

Sounds like an interesting project. I just finished a script where the main character, a hero is on the spectrum. He’s eight and set in ‘67, a time when they did not have a medical name for autism. best of luck with your project.

I would be happy to read and provide notes on your pages when you get there.

Nasrin Jafari Welcome to Stage 32, Nasrin.

Your project sounds both meaningful and deeply personal. I believe some of the most powerful stories come from lived experiences, especially when they explore themes like family, resilience, and personal transformation.

I also appreciate that you're approaching this not only as a screenwriter but as a mother. That personal perspective can bring a level of authenticity that audiences genuinely connect with.

Wishing you every success with your feature film, and I hope you find wonderful collaborators to help bring this important story to the screen.

Thank you so much, Abhijeet. I truly appreciate your thoughtful words and encouragement. This story comes from a very personal journey, and my hope is to create something authentic that can connect with families around the world. I'm glad to connect with fellow storytellers here on Stage 32 and look forward to following your work as well.

Nasrin Jafari Thank you so much, Nasrin. Stories that come from genuine personal experiences often have the power to resonate the most.

Welcome, Nasrin. Your project sounds deeply personal and meaningful. Wishing you the very best as you bring this story to life, and I’m glad to connect with a fellow writer from Turkey.

Nasrin, greetings from a fellow screenwriter. Your project sounds deeply personal and urgently needed — stories about autism and family resilience are still far too rare in cinema.

The true story angle plus your perspective as both writer and mother gives it an authenticity that can't be manufactured. That's the kind of project that stays with audiences long after the credits.

Wishing you strength in the development process — these stories demand everything from us, but they give back more. Would love to follow your journey.
