Exclusive Interview with Filmmaker Elie Fahed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: Congratulations on being accepted at the prestigious\nInternational Filmmaker Festival of New York. Can you tell us about the film\nand the process of making it?<\/strong>
\nThank you, my film is called \u201cLife in 2\nMinutes\u201d, it\u2019s a personal project about how I see life in 2 minutes, in a very\nsimple treatment, collecting home videos from close people, them shooting some\nmore shots, and combining everything in a 2 minutes film.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> How did you go about casting for the film?<\/strong>
\nAs I already mentioned, this film is made\nout of \u201cMemories\u201d and \u201cSouvernirs\u201d so no casting happened, the people involved\nin the film are people I know, friends and family.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What is the\nstory about and how did you achieve it cinematically?<\/strong>
\nThe story follows a tooth, we born and we\ncelebrate the first tooth until we lose that tooth, some shots filmed in the\npresent time, some other memories shot on old camera or phones.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: Will you be attending the IFFNY festival in New York\nin May?<\/strong>
\nI still don\u2019t know! But New York holds a\nvery special place in my heart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> How long have\nyou been making films and videos? <\/strong>
\nThis is my fifth year of being a filmmaker, been doing ads, music videos and\nshort films for a while now<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What film was your directorial debut?<\/strong>
\nMy debut short film is called \u201cStarring Julia\u201d which travelled the world in\nfilm festivals and won the Jury Prize at the Beirut International Film Festival\nand the \u201cBest Student Short Film\u201d award in Monaco at the  5th<\/sup> edition of MCFF.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What was the most important lesson you had to learn that\nhas had a positive effect on your film? How did that lesson happen?<\/strong>
\nThe most important lesson is to learn\nthat we should do films no matter what, films are the most sacred form of self\nexpression, this film is a tribute to my father, whom I lost couple of years\nago, I did this film out of anger, love, and a need to have answers from life,\nso the great lesson was to see films as form of art therapy!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> Is it harder to get started or to keep\ngoing? What was the particular thing that you had to conquer to do either?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it\u2019s harder to keep going, as starting will\ndefinitely happen, I feel like a passionate filmmaker will definitely learn how\nto start: holding a camera and telling a story, what\u2019s hard is to keep going.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> How has your style evolved?<\/strong>
\nI think I\u2019m in the most mature phase now,\nI feel like my style now is a bit darker if I might say!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What has been your personal key to success? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patience.

<\/em>NY Glam:<\/strong> What are you\nthinking about doing next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\nnext project is called \u2018The Fear Of Fear\u201d and I cannot wait for its release!
\n
\n<\/em>NY Glam:<\/strong> Where does your studio want to go from here?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nlove to think that life hides surprises for us, and I\u2019m\nexcited for whatever it holds for me!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
