SUHA

SUHA is a short film, which depicts the life of a young graffiti writer as she marks her way through Montreal’s graffiti art sub-culture. SUHA’s diaristic accounts unfold through her self-discovering narration which is delivered as a soliloquy unbeknown to her. We are currently developing a feature length version of SUHA and our progress can be followed on this blog. Enjoy!

Yo man, you still making this fucking full length movie? SUHA was like my short film pump up in the mornings when I was working all the time. Got me motivated to get shit done even if shit happens. Anyway, keep making films you got moxy.

The first draft of the feature length script for SUHA has been complete for a while but I’ve put the project aside until I finish my first feature length documentary, which is about a graffiti writer. Keep your eyes and ears open and you’ll eventually get some news about both these projects. Glad to hear you liked the short version of SUHA, I appreciate the support!

Hello. I was wondering how you came up with the name "Suha" is that the name of the real person?

Hello and thank you for your question about my film. I named the character in my after a song by a grab band called XIU XIU. They have a song named SUHA and although the song is about an entirely different situation I somehow thought it would be a nice way to pay homage to a wonderful band that has filled me with much inspiration.

You should check out XIU XU, they are amazing musicians and great people. I was also lucky enough to have them compose some music for my first documentary called FEEDING THE RAGING HEART. Hope this answers your question...

The entire sound track of the film was written by two friends of mine Alex and Neville...

I just watched this wonderful film by LANCE HAMMER. Wonderfully shot and very well paced. Very inspirational. I highly recommend it.

This was my piece for the "HOMMAGE A LA VILLE" exhibit curated by Clement Yeh. The piece is a visual study for the feature length film which I am adapting from the recent 8 minute film.

I've been doing some writing...hoping to have a first rough draft of the feature length script by the spring time...
