PART ONE: Featuring a short about the amazing film project "WOMEN AND ROADS - The way to yourself, UAE", by A&K Production.
🎙 ANNA KAMENEVA and KRISTINA KRETOVA, co-founders of A&K Production, an award-winning Directors’ Duo behind the international documentary series Women and Roads. The Way to Yourself. Their work explores women’s empowerment, cultural identity, and personal transformation through real stories filmed worldwide. Kristina is a best-selling author and screenwriter with over 25 published books; Anna is a singer-songwriter and creative producer. Both have a strong business background in real estate and development, which they combine with storytelling across film, music, and culture. They also run the fashion brand East&West, blending Silk Road heritage with contemporary design. At Tech Tuesdays, they will share a special preview of their UAE project and speak about the evolving role of women, narrative, and technology — while also filming new voices for their global project It’s My Way, presented by East&West and A&K Production. https://www.instagram.com/annakam_official https://www.instagram.com/i_am_ultramarina
