FAST RISING film director Nina Salim is set to publish her first movie namely Poetria this month December 2021, which was both produced and directed by her. Talking to The New Times, Salim said that this movie aims to tell a story of a muse who came from another world, sent by destiny, to inspire poets whom she lived with in a cave. The inspiration of writing a meditation story came from Muses Imagination according to Salim. “I got inspired by muses imagination and stories where we find a muse who really inspires artists in their whole creation and creativity and as an artist, I wanted to produce a film that shows the hustle of poet artists who are searching for the ‘Inganzo’ inspiration in their inner brain and fighting to get the muse Poetria and draw in her knowledge,” she said. According to her, ‘Poetria’ is a movie that will awaken people’s creative side and make them question why they limit themselves and always follow norms which dont help them develop a personality and beliefs that follow them till the end of time.
