The shooting for "Everything Is Nothing" had been completed in May. Afterwards, Arafat applied to participate in the 10th Goa Short Film Festival back in July. However, he had never expected the film to actually get selected.

"This is my first short film, to see it being selected for such a prestigious film festival fills my heart with joy. I am elated because this project features my mother–the entire story revolves around her."

"Everything Is Nothing" was produced under the helm of Merge Creative, and produced by Arafat Kirty. The short film's direction, story, music and cinematography were handled by Arafat Mohsin himself.
