WATCH A Q&A WITH THE FILMMAKERS
"In The Garden of Tulips is a poignant, honest portrayal of an immigrant experience that couldn't be more relevant right now. Directed with a subtle hand and an eye for performance, every moment is charged with emotions bubbling just below the surface. I'm so excited for the world to see this beautiful film."
— Destin Daniel Cretton (Executive Producer)
Director of Short Term 12 & Marvel's Shang-Chi
"So powerful and simple…it tells the story of all who have endured hatred."
— Billy Crystal,
3x Golden Globe Nominee
"Both contained and complex, In The Garden of Tulips is a sensitively crafted film that successfully captures the nuances of what it feels like to leave home and never look back."
— Rayka Zehtabchi,
Academy-Award Winner for Period. End of Sentence.
“In the Garden of Tulips is a touching and poignant story told from the point of view of an immigrant leaving Iran for a better life in the West. Now more than ever it is important to hear such voices in the world!”
— Maz Jobrani,
