Robert and Jamiel's Final Film!

What you need to know about our Upcoming Project:

The project, currently untitled, is an action-adventure film that explores the dynamic experience of young-adulthood. It follows two university students that find themselves wrapped up in the pressures of college life. As they enter this unfamiliar territory, they must face the ultimate test of friendship.




 What inspired this film?

A professor once said, “in university you must choose two of three things: grades, friends, or sleep”. In this film, our heroes must choose only one.

Who’s involved?

Robert Laird (Director & Co-Writer) is in his final year at The Mel Hoppenheim School of Advanced Cinema at Concordia. He has been making short films since the age of 7, and this is his most ambitious project to date. He hopes this project will make you laugh, and perhaps even cry.

Jamiel Rahi (Co-Writer) is currently studying Mechanical Engineering at Concordia University. A musician since the age of 8, he spends his extra time away from school on artistic projects. In this case, he is combining his engineering knowledge with his love of film to focus on the technical aspects of film production.

For the first time, Robert and Jamiel have teamed up with Alex Lane (Cinematographer & Sound), who has single-handedly elevated the visual quality of the film, beyond what was ever expected.
