I was looking for AR Rahman's legendary track "Maa Tujhe Salaam"on youtube, and came across his VEVO channel. Maybe AR will reach a billion views in no time.

"The country that hates me, awaits me." - Welcome Back - A documentary

2011-02-25T09:24:00.001-05:00

We would like to share the latest work of Mazin Elsadig and BAMN productions. We co-produced this documentary and provided motion design for it.

Here is a snapshot of the documentary.

Title: Welcome Back

Director: Mazin Elsadig

Story

An ordinary man from Canada returns to Sudan after 21 years of exile. Everything changed.

Background

Elfadil Elsharief is an ordinary man on the surface – he’s got two kids, a wife, a mortgage on a house, and works for the city of Hamilton, Ontario in public health. He lives a pretty standard North American life. His fellow worker at the cubicle next to him would be shocked to find out that he is a human rights advocate, who’s been blacklisted and banned to return to his country.

He was born and bred in a little village in northern Sudan called Aba Island. Being the eldest brother of five siblings, he set the bar high for his relatives in education by ranking ninth academically before graduating high school in the largest country of Africa. Shortly after, he graduated from the University of Khartoum and the government sent him to the

United States to do his master’s degree at Northwestern University. In 1989, while nearly obtaining his long-awaited PhD, a military coup occurred in his country and the blossoming democratic government was toppled. As he constantly criticized the regime from overseas, his tuition funds were cut-off. He wrote scathing articles, challenging the government and disagreed with their Islamic fundamentalist tactics. As a consequent, he was flagged as a ‘’traitor’’ to the country and was not allowed to come back for many years.

On December 1st, 2007, he finally went back and everything changed.

In this moving piece, the audience is a witness to the euphoria and agony of a man’s journey, the state of Sudan, a brief look at the ups and downs of government shifts since Sudan’s independence, and Elfadil’s lifelong pursuit to human rights.

PRESS RELEASE -- Straight Eyes for a Gay Guy!

2010-12-01T12:07:00.000-05:00

Toronto, Ontario (Tuesday, November 29, 2010) - The web is about to get more interesting with a new bi-weekly web-series called ‘Straight Up’, being produced by Aara Vive and Pauline Wong of Toronto-based production company ViveBros.

The web sitcom centers on Riyad DeMario and his two roommates, Richard Park and Arvin Arora, three bachelors stumbling their ways through life. Raised in a wealthy and traditional Mexican family, Riyad longs to have a traditional family life, with a wife and children of his very own. Except one minor problem. He’s gay. Richard has plenty of problems of his own. He’s a talented actor but in major debt, having to jump from one menial job to the next. Arvin has a love for food and is pursuing a career in culinary arts but is often impeded by various neuroses, such as overreacting to stressful situations and being a clean freak.

Filming is scheduled to commence around April 2011 and will be shot on location in Toronto. Each episode will run for approximately 10 mins and will air on various sites such as YouTube, Vimeo and MetaCafe.
