Sarah web

Sarah Humaid

I live in: Abu Dhabi

I fill my day: as a senior in high school.  I wake up in the morning and go to school, and I sleep straight away when I return. I LOVE reading Nazik Almala'ka's poetry, and always try to invest an hour per day to read some of her poems, because they're exceptionally breathtaking!!!!!!
My biggest film dream: is to make a film based on a true story.

Being a part of AFS means: a great privilege.  I have met some wonderful people and just today we had a lecture with my mentor, who is brilliant.

 

Omar web 

Omar Butti

I live in: Dubai

I fill my day: Producing a daily news and current affairs show, Emirates 24/7, for Dubai One TV, dreaming up films concepts, and watching a lot of movies.

My biggest film inspiration has got to be: Park Chan-Wook my favorite Korean director. I find Korean cinema to be exhilarating, unusual, challenging and truly innovative in a way that few other national cinemas can match. As a younger film industry the Koreans are very hungry and not afraid to try out new things. I hope that the UAE will one day have a similar reputation in the Arab World.

Being a part of AFS means: A start of many great things hopefully... We'll have to wait and see...
