The pair have since opened their own production company, running out of an office based at The Mill in Castlemaine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;It&#8217;s very exciting to share the film with our hometown as several locals were involved in the production,&#8221; Kieran said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;I really respect Noora&#8217;s work and creativity. She allows people&#8217;s ideas and talents to support her vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;As a director, you have a certain path you want a project to go and it&#8217;s an exercise in letting go and maintaining control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;If you can do that, the film is elevated by the talent around you. If you held on too tightly you&#8217;d miss out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Shayda <\/em>is screening at the Theatre Royal on Friday, August 18 at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreroyalcastlemaine.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.theatreroyalcastlemaine.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Noora will also be appearing at the Theatre Royal this Sunday, August 20, as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival Talks for a round table with two other talented filmmakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For
