THE LEGEND OF RUBY PASHA
2016, Canada/Lebanon/UAE/Pakistan, 15", English/Arabic/Urdu
Shot in five countries between 2015 and 2016 as a creative experiment that went wild, this crazy little short film is a collaborative effort of over 60 people who really didn't know each other, five cameras in five countries, two DPs, five languages, and one horse that refused to act. It premiered in the International Competition of the Tampere Film Festival in 2017.
ONE OF THE "TEN OF THE BEST SHORT FILMS OF THE YEAR SO FAR"
"The latest from gifted director Sabah Haider screened at Finland’s short film festival in Tampere ... It’s an audacious, witty and hallucinogenic riff on the western genre and honour-killing tales in an age of globalisation." — AnotherMag, June 2017
