Reshad Kulenovic

This I think was a very interesting and informative interview with Reshad. He is an exciting young filmmaker that just hearing him speak makes me excited to see his next projects. His film "100 Million Dollar House" is very interesting due to where it takes place in Hebron. The fact that Hebron is a conflict zone is what makes this film very interesting. From what we saw of his film I think that Heborn being a conflict zone is well represented and hearing his personal stories about being there is even more interesting. Seeing the scene in the film where the guard tells him to shut off the camera and the scene where the tear gas roles in is powerful moments in the film but even more powerful from Reshads first hand telling of it. He told the story of how they were arrested and held until their release was negotiated by one of the subjects they were filming. Also it was really interesting hearing about the completely foreign idea to us that having a veteran of the Israeli Army with them actually made their life more difficult because he was treated as a traitor. I found listening to Reshad very interesting and I am excited to hear more about the upcoming projects he has in the works especially the one he talked about with a pretty well known producer.
