The stewardess cannot hold two things at the same time! its either the coffee thing or the tray! not BOTH!! because kuwaitis serve coffee while holding the small cups(fanayeel) and the coffee thing(dal'la) then they hold a tray with dates! since a person cannt hold all three things at the same time: they give you coffee then the dates!

I dunno why but every-time I see Kuwaiti ads they always feel "dry" or bland...as of they're too stiff and they always feel like they're made by the same ppl not to say that this wasn't a great effort mark, just an opinion Ok I thought the above statement was a bit too much

To shoot a proper commercial in Kuwait would mean bringing in a lot of people from outside and also equipment and gear. Then stuff like the CGI and film processing would have to be done outside. We had less than 4 weeks to produce this commercial and it would have been impossible to execute it here. Time wasn't on our side this time around.
