The friendship between a human and a wild animal had a strange effect on me.

— Regienotizen zu „The American Bull“

When I went to outside of the city with my friends to take some photos, in one of the villages near a river, I saw some buffalos and a child in the water. It was a poetic moment.

 

The idea of making this movie came from a collection of photographs we took from the village. The photos in which Arab boys with dark skin were playing relaxed alongside the wild buffalo. The friendship between a human and a wild animal had a strange effect on me. With more commuting to that village I found a more clear understanding of that lifestyle and I started to write a script.
