Find Your Wild is a story of transformation, resilience, and self-discovery. Through Azadeh’s journey to reclaim her passion, I explore the challenges of cultural adaptation, evolving gender roles, and the delicate balance between personal dreams and relationships. At its heart, this film is about the courage to embrace change, even when it unsettles the familiar. - Director, Leila Khalilzadeh
