Animation<br />

Brooklyn, NY. 6 min.<br />
Things of worth are often<br />
neglected in favor of that<br />
which might be more<br />
immediately gratifying.<br />
Unfortunately, the things that<br />
are neglected are often lost<br />
forever, irreplaceable. This<br />
is the story of a man with a misguided and intense focus –<br />
one that started in his youth and carried on to old age. His<br />
life events are chronicled through the loss of his teeth – and<br />
how his obsessive efforts to amend what was damaged bring<br />
on further destruction.<br />
Notes for My Homeland<br />
Documentary<br />

Montclair, NJ. 6 min.<br />
A Syrian-American composer<br />
responds to the tragedies<br />
instigated by the Assad<br />
regime by composing music<br />
in support of the Syrian<br />
Revolution, and performing it<br />
at great personal risk. Malek<br />
Jandali’s evolution from classical musician to passionate<br />
activist captures the transformation that the civil war in Syria<br />
has wrought on many citizens. This is a story that celebrates<br />
the power of art to catalyze social movements.<br />
