The Kitchen Through Time — English
Entire concept and execution: Mosab Abu Khaled.The story behind the film.
Every era brought new tools, materials and ways of preparing food, yet the kitchen remained a place for gathering, sharing stories and creating memories.
I developed the concept and full script, researching historical eras and their relationship to Jordanian locations, period clothing and credible food-preparation methods. Stones, fire, primitive surfaces and period-appropriate cooking techniques informed the visual narrative.
From narrative to final film.
I translated the concept into a cinematic sequence through AI-assisted image generation, image-to-video animation and carefully developed period-inspired environments. From visual consistency and scene transitions to voiceover, music, pacing and final editing, I directed the production to create a cohesive story across thousands of years.
