Naama Noy

Director

Works on

As a single ultra-Orthodox woman, I felt the need to raise sensitivity to the issue I was dealing with. At the time of writing the synopsis it was clear to me that I would begin the egg-freezing process, but during filming I experienced opposition I had not bargained for. I also encountered significant other issues during filming, such as my family believing that women should be modest and private. I had to find creative ways of keeping my sisters in the frame without revealing their identity. The film took me on an amazing journey that made me bring myself fully into the world, and open up to my parents and family, which had not happened before I started filming.
