Hanging out with Faisal Hashmi - Film Making and Movies

The Hangout with Rushdi

Faisal Hashmi is a Pakistani UAE based film maker who as he confessed speaks slightly fast but really doesn’t matter because he is one of those unsung heros behind the camera. We talk about how he fell into the mix of it all and it is an important part of him mainly due to the simple fact that he is not a product of a media and film making course or alumni, he is all self taught via trial and error, and who doesn’t love a story like that? We talk about how important it is to get out there on social media and THE INTERNET in general. He eventually got selected for an international film festival, they showed his movie and he got his expenses paid for, you taking notes ladies and gentlemen? Faisal brings up an interesting point of how horror and comedy has the same challenges considering the "ebb and flow", timing and delivery as well as how the movies of the respective categories are rated. We have an exclusive chat about his new short film coming out Wicken and honestly I cant wait to watch it after have a conversation with him about it seeing the twinkle in his eye. Faisal also ends with advice for aspiring and upcoming filmmakers, the do’s, dont’s and suggestions how to go about it when you are starting out or trying to find loopholes with the most common obstacles. He also gives us all his tags, just like they are on here and is happy to help out where he can so PLEASE utilize his knowledge as his experience is worth its weight in gold.
