I thank the landless Bahman Ghobadi, hoping that one of these days he may return to his homeland and make the films he loves. I thank our producer Gökçe for the immense support. I thank “The Four Walls” cast; Funda Eryigit, Baris Yildiz, Onur Buldu, and Fatih Al, for welcoming me to their team as an Iranian playing a Kurd.
