Nour Wazzi said; “As a Lebanese female filmmaker, I wanted to tell a unique, thought-provoking story that had both a Middle Eastern character and a complex woman at its core. Steering the audience to become complicit in the vilification of a Middle Eastern man, we ask our viewers to confront their judgements and societal prejudices. Working with this hugely talented cast and crew was a wonderful experience and great honour.”
Beneath the tension and mystery, lies a heart-wrenching story inspired by true events about an 8-year-old girl whose life is threatened by someone she trusted most.

Our AWESOME REVIEWS:
“Director Nour Wazzi’s stylish and atmospheric thriller harnesses the gripping narrative power of the thriller genre to probe thought-provoking questions about identity and expectations. With a foundation of impeccable craftsmanship and excellently structured writing and editing, viewers race through a high-stakes situation, upending expectations and questioning assumptions in the process.” — Omeleto
“It’s full of dramatic twists and turns, and is a must-watch for anyone looking for a complex, challenging thriller… It’s a film that challenges stereotypes and makes the audience think long after the credits have rolled. It addresses gender, race, parenthood and perception. Highly recommended.” — 4* Lucy Goes to Hollywood
“Wazzi cleverly makes you interrogate your own biases as a viewer by adding more nuance to the characters towards the end of the film, and as a result turns what could easily be a by-the-numbers drama into something more special and unexpected.” — Groovie Movie Reviews
“There’s no denying the excellence of the performances, which, like Rina Yang’s evocative photography and Vee Pinot’s crisp editing, are tailored entirely to sustain the conceit… Given the current tensions, this short thriller… is bound to spark debate.” — Parky at the Pictures
“Meant as a look at racism and our perceptions of people based on their race or nationality, Baby Mine didn’t go the way I expected…. It manages to make its points while avoiding becoming heavy-handed or preachy…. The ending is quite effective and left me feeling sad and angry.” — Voices from the Balcony
“Now is the perfect time to watch a hard-hitting short on racial tensions. With #BlackLivesMatter more important now than ever before, the colour of someone’s skin should never be a reason that they are guilty of a crime and this is played out perfectly in Baby Mine with racial stereotypes. Showing that you need to see the whole picture to make a decision…” 4* Nerdly
“Baby Mine is an electrifying, dark, captivating, and well-executed short film about a very important topic.” — 4* OC Movie Reviews and Medium
