The Worlds Between: Mashael Alqahtani Writes the Space Where Fear Meets Freedom
When Mashael Alqahtani says she wanted “a career doing what made me feel less alone,” she isn’t confessing a sentiment so much as mapping a survival strategy. For her, writing was never a hobby or even a goal; it was a practice of return, a ritual learned young from a small red diary gifted by her aunt after watching The Princess Diaries. In that notebook, a child’s loneliness began to mutate into story. The entries weren’t purely autobiographical; they were miniature worlds refracted through humor and exaggeration, the kind of half-true imaginings that made discomfort not just bearable but shapable. “I learned how to interrogate my feelings,” she recalls. “It made me feel comforted by myself and the power of my own imagination.”

Delilah Napier and Lucy Powers Bring Dark Humor and Raw Honesty to Modern Love with Floating Carousel
Filmmaking duo Delilah Napier and Lucy Powers are no strangers to pushing creative boundaries. With their new dark comedy feature, Floating Carousel, the pair dive into the chaos of modern dating through a surreal, witty, and painfully relatable lens. The film, making its World Premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival on Friday, October 17th at 8:30 PM, follows five twenty-somethings as they navigate love, loneliness, and connection in what many call "the loneliest century." Blending satire, realism, and emotional depth, Napier and Powers craft a story that mirrors the absurdity of our digital-age relationships and proves once again why they're among the most exciting emerging voices in indie cinema.

M Mehran I stepped into the building at exactly 9:59 a.m., just a minute before my scheduled interview. The lobby was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that makes you hyper-aware of every sound—your shoes squeaking, your own heartbeat, the soft hum of the air conditioning.
