Healing begins when we are truly seen.
❤️ Heart Strings follows Aaliyah, a young violinist whose future begins to unravel when she discovers her sister Noor is struggling with self-harm. As pressure builds and words fail, music becomes the only bridge between them, holding onto a connection that refuses to break.
This story is deeply personal, shaped by lived experiences with mental health, family, and the silence that often surrounds both. It’s been an honor to direct a film rooted in that truth, alongside a team of student artists who have poured care and intention into every frame.
We are now in the final stage of bringing Heart Strings to life and we can’t finish it without your support.
Your donation will go directly toward:
- An original score to carry the film’s emotional weight
- Festival submissions to share this story with wider audiences
Without these final steps, the film cannot fully reach its audience.
If this story resonates with you, if you’ve ever wanted to be seen or to help someone who feels unseen, your support helps bring that connection to life.
Because Heart Strings is more than a film.
It’s a reminder that no one has to face this alone. ❤️
