Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/12/2015 -- Zaid Abu Hamdan grew up in the Middle East with his four brothers during the 80s and 90s. Though he never had any sisters, Zaid often wondered what would have happened if they were four sisters living under similar circumstances. As a filmmaker, he has always been curios about finding out the difference in the way patriarchal societies dictate the lives of men and women. This is what Zaid Abu Hamdan's film 'Daughters of Abdul-Rahman' is all about.

Wile the family dynamic in the story is universal, the theme of this upcoming film will thoroughly investigate how gossip and fear of scandal dictates the lives of people in certain societies. Through this unapologetic and female-empowering film, Zaid is looking to deal with serious issues in a poetic yet dark comedic style. Jordan's culture is ruled by several traditions that can be categorized as positive, strong, or honorable. There are some other traditions that compelled Zaid to make 'Daughters of Abdul-Rahman.'

Zaid Abu Hamdan believes that telling stories is his way of making sense to the world. He has already written and directed six films in English, Arabic, Mandarin, Hebrew, and Japanese including his critically acclaimed and Oscar Qualified award-winning film Bahiya & Mahmoud. Zaid has already spent well over five years in developing the screenplay of his seventh film. Now, Zaid is looking to raise $75,000 for the making of 'Daughters of Abdul-Rahman.' Funds raised will be mainly used to qualify to other bigger funds from International organizations, in addition to be using the campaign money for:

- Film website and press kit.
- Office space.
- Travel for pre-production.
- Screenplay translation.
- Line producer.
- Camera test for flashbacks.
- DP booking.
- Casting.
- Lockdown locations.

This campaign will close on February 02, 2015.
