Otis zoomed in from Bern, Switzerland for his DIF interview!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Otis Birdy brought his remarkable directorial debut “Jiyan” to\u00a0Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2020 and and took home a Programmer’s Award for his efforts. \u00a0Inspired by a true story that Otis personally experienced, \u201cJiyan (Life)\u201d recounts the daily life of Nerol, a seventeen year old Syrian Kurd who arrives in Switzerland without his parents and must learn to live and adapt to a new world while his family remains trapped in a country being destroyed by a Civil War.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the internet and video chat, I got to meet Otis and do a Q&A with him at FILA 2021 and I always knew that I would want to talk to him in an episode of this podcast. \u00a0I’m so glad that it happened.<\/p>\n
