No Guarantee, 2014

Descripción: This super budget short film was produced by me and Khaled Abdullah while we were working in Beirut, covering the Syrian refugee crisis which the small nation of Lebanon has to carry the main burden. Us coming from a broadcast background this was the firs feature film we both ever produced. We got the idea while covering the interviews and stories of the refugee's we very often couldn't include in our news reports. People didn't want to talk on camera in fear of repercussions for their families still living in Syria or of fear of getting in conflict with locale Lebanese authorities. We used exclusively Syrian and Lebanese laymen actors who agreed to portray the different characters. The story of the main character is a compilation of real stories we heard during our interviews with several persons. The film was shot over 3 days in Beirut last year in June. Although the situation got even worse and the problems are still piling up for the average Syrian civilian, the stories are still timely and eventually I decided to put the video online. We shot with a very small budget in a production team never exceeding more then 3 people. We produced on a single BMPCC with a Canon vintage lens.
