Hi, my name is Faisal Hashmi and I'm an independent filmmaker from the land that they call Dubai. Yes, it's hard to get stuff made here since the industry is in its infancy and there's a lot of support only for national citizens and not expatriates (which I am). But going by the inspiration of not letting anything stop creativity, I shoot films with a small crew with little to no budget and recently began directing some quirky short films/ads for brands like Samsung and FujiFilm. If there's any more filmmakers or enthusiasts on here from the country, give me a shout-out! My work can be seen at http://www.vimeo.com/hashmichousefilms http://www.youtube.com/hashmichousefilms .
