Magical night under the Doha Tribeca Film Festival sky

In the Doha Tribeca film festival – second anneal in 2010 , held a great event in the Katara Open Air Theatre, Nitin Sawhney, is one of the most versatile and sought after composers and producers alive today and has composed an original soundtrack to accompany the 1929 silent film, “A Throw of Dice” by acclaimed German Director Franz Osten. The soundtrack been performed by Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra along with Nitin Sawhney’s key musicians. This performance was magical.
In the begging I thought that silent films are boring BUT with the Orchestra and the Open Air Theatre was amazing and I really feel bad of those who miss it...

my first movie

Directing a movie is so great and you will have fun times , believe me I just find that out in the day next of my shooting because it was very exacting experiment because it was so hot and all the locations are under sun but it was very helpful to build a strong character.

Now am going to give you a summary about what happened in that day   

The first location: AL bander,

 we start shooting from 9 am on the old ship , it was fun to shoot in the middle of the sea  with a gentle wind ,the people was very helpful there to provide the ship and the pearl diver for free, honestly it was great time in there

the second location : camel area in Souq Waquf

it was hat as hell , and me and my crew suffered so much in it because it was 2 pm and the sun was 1 cm closer from our heads, its just like we are in a moving oven , but in the end we had fun by riding the camel ^^

the third location : coffee shop

in this location was ok because its have a roof, but the only hard thing was dealing with the kids, in the scene they suppose to pizza so we ordered one vegetarian pizza so I explains to them what they have to do which is sit and eat them but they said they don’t like it , and they were looking like they are eating a cockroaches 

The last location: souq waqef hotale

it was great but the only hard thing was dealing with the little girl, she wasn’t afraid or anything like that but when I told her you should say this and this she kept refusing and told me my script is stupid

Any way it was a good experience for me and I hope to do it again soon

Also its great to see the result of your work , so have a look on it and I hope you love it ^^
