Hey Everyone!
My name's Abdulazeez Al-Refai, a writer, animation director, and producer. I'm thrilled to invite you on a remarkable journey to bring GRIT to life. It's a tale of adventure, unbreakable bonds, and the universal quest for belonging.
Inspiration and Theme
GRIT springs from a journey marked by love, loss, and unwavering resilience. It celebrates the power of parental love—the kind of fierce, unconditional support that lights our way as we find our place in the world.
The Story
A young Bedouin woman and her lost horse tackle adventures and tough choices on their way to finding each other again. It tells the story of Farah, an Arabian mare, with memory loss, who embarks on a quest for self-discovery with a witty falcon, both seeking where they belong. Meanwhile, Noor, a determined young Bedouin woman and her father, search for Farah, her beloved horse set free under pressure. Their paths cross at an auction held by a ruthless merchant, in a tense showdown where love and sacrifice are the ultimate price for reunion.
Project Vision
Launching this September, we aim to bring the first chapter of GRIT to life with a detailed storyboard and animatic for a full 90-minute feature film. This crucial step will lay the foundational visuals and emotions that will guide the film’s entire production. Your support is vital in making this vision a reality.
Why This Story Matters
GRIT captures the essence of navigating life's challenges and discovering strength in love and companionship. It's a story for anyone who has sought their place and found it within the hearts of those they cherish.

What to Expect
While the short film above is serious and dramatic, the feature expands to include these elements along with moments of comedy and light-heartedness. This blend of tones enriches the story, making it both emotionally impactful and entertaining. The short’s lack of dialogue emphasizes the visual storytelling, while the feature will introduce dialogue to deepen character development, aiming to create a dynamic narrative that resonates with audiences of all ages.
Your belief in storytelling and GRIT's message of hope can make an incredible difference. Thank you for considering being part of our journey. This project is more than a film; it’s a tribute to unconditional love and the strength found in connections. Let’s create something wonderful together!
Best wishes,
Azeez
