This film tells the stories of three different people on their journeys to Mecca, featuring ProtecTasbih - the world’s first sanitizing prayer beads by Saudia Airlines. With 99 carefully crafted close up shots of contacts, symbolizing the importance of the number 99 in Islam, this film tops the list of all films I shot in Mecca before.

Shot on ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice with Cooke anamorphic FF lenses, and iPhone ProMax fitted with Sirui anamorphic filter for the Mecca scenes, I'm blown away by the dynamic range of the iPhone's Apple Log.
