I watched this short after watching the feature and it did not feel like it is the work of the same writer/director. The feature felt so formulaic and restrained, whereas this one told more story, shared more emotions. This one also felt more true to the title as it gave much larger proportion of screen time for Hala's sexuality and skateboarding rather than the feature in which sexuality was toned down (For an attempt at PG-13 certificate? For release in middle-eastern countries?) and skateboarding got diluted trying to depict a "typical" Islamic family in America.
