Support from friends



Our friends on facebook have been very supportive and instrumental in the way Xero Error is shaping up.

Not only did we have support but heartfelt advice from professionals like Waqqas Q. Sheikh, a film maker based in Dubai. Waqqas really helped us open our mind that our goals should be very high in terms of production. It really helped raise the bar for production values on Xero Error.

Another friend Tim Bradstreet, Award winning Marvel/DC artist who really needs no introduction, shared his story of an animated movie he was involved with called 'Dear Anne'. He was the inspiration for us to reach out and involve amazing talents from the film industry.

Nayla Al Khaja helped us with insider information and gave suggestions to make the story more emotionally gripping, Dhruv Dhawan offered useful insights to marketing the film, Tragic Antihero gave a very realistic picture of what lies ahead, Mike Oliver & Paul Hunt helped with the script, Danish Farhan emphasized on keeping the audience guessing and not giving away too much too early, Kaser Mehmood & Bashar Atiyat are trying to get us hollywood actors to get involved in the voice acting, Syed Talha, Haris & Huzaifa Ghori are really spreading the word among their peers, top comic book industry professionals who took the time out of their busy schedules to give us encouraging words... So a big thanks to all stalwart companions [& those who I couldn't list here] making this possible.
