After the success of COVID-19 PSAs like Hope, a story of depression during the pandemic and a tribute to COVID- 19 front liners with Tomorrow Never Came, Zen Film Productions has now released The Wave. The Wave, conducted by Zenofar Fathima, is a suspenseful 10-minute short film that encourages the pick a few who fail to abide by government-mandated regards to stay safe and be responsible, portraying a possible situation that could occur due to the lack of patience after the end of lockdowns and relaxed restrictions internationally.

The PSA comes soon after excellent government efforts were compelled to flatten the curve all throughout the world, creating the message that it is now in our hands to ensure their efforts are not in vain, using the popular tagline #WeAreResponsible.

The film not only offers a touching reminder to us all as we understand into the new normal, but it does so within a plethora of actors who become intertwined in a story of fear and scepticism, owed to their false understanding that COVID-19 has come to an end. In doing so, there is an importance on what surface activities the public should pursue, as well as those that are not a requirement, and should thus be withdrawn to curb virus resurgence altogether.

The film has been quoted an eye-opener in the current scenario, whilst Zenofars acting has been cited as chillingly real, describing how eager some people can get during these trying times.Another highlight of the film is that it not only teaches the public on how we must take accountability to control future waves of the Coronavirus, but it also ensures to keep viewers captivated from start to finish.

We arent just telling people of the fact that the police have done their job and that we are now responsible, says the Dubai-based filmmaker. But the movie is also sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, prompting everyone to realise the impact of their past and future actions in a COVID-19 world.
