## Caption

Zoey Martinson, director of The Fisherman, shared her experience on staying true to her original vision—choosing to keep the film’s balance of humor and heart intact. Despite notes from international perspectives suggesting her take was “too dramatic,” she trusted her instincts, using comedy and lightheartedness to explore themes of poverty and resilience. Her film screened during our ABFF Pop-Up NYC! 🎣🎬👏🏾
