Ahead of its historic world premiere at the Tribeca Festival, we sat down with filmmaker Meriem Sakrouhi—the powerhouse director, producer, editor, and co-cinematographer behind the short documentary Mon Taxi.

Making history as the first Moroccan short film in over two decades to be officially selected for Tribeca , Mon Taxi is a deeply intimate, 8-minute exploration of grief, migration, memory, and connection.

In this episode, Meriem opens up about the moving reality behind the project:

• The Meaning of "Mon Taxi": The sweet, private family joke that gave the film its title.

• Architecture to Cinema: How her background as a Moroccan architect shapes her visual storytelling and framing of emotion on the streets of New York.

• Creative Vulnerability: The emotional process of turning raw, deeply personal moments into a public work of art.

This conversation dives deep into the human need to keep speaking across impossible distances. Press play to hear the full story behind one of the festival's most compelling breakouts.
