## Key points

- Arizmendi made her action-film debut with Tariq’s character-led thriller.
- The visuals shift towards the perspective of Latif’s daughter.
- The film blends action with themes of faith and fatherhood.

## Summary

Cinematographer Katelin Arizmendi brought a character-led visual approach to her first action film, Bassam Tariq’s *Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother*. The film follows Latif, a devout Muslim assassin adjusting to his wife’s death and caring for their children, including finding breast milk for his newborn daughter. Its unusual premise uses the action genre to explore faith, fatherhood and emotional vulnerability.

Arizmendi said she and Tariq began with the story and characters, then shaped a subjective visual style that increasingly reflects Latif’s daughter, Fatiha. They aimed to keep the action cohesive with the film’s emotional tone, while giving each fight a distinct quality and raising the scale towards the finale. The film premiered in Toronto and was released in the United States on 25 September through Amazon MGM Studios; Arizmendi also discussed the practical demands of filming action and working as a woman in a male-dominated field.
