كويت فجر السعيد

تعلمنا جميعنا ان مصر "أم الدنيا" و طبعت اللهجة المصرية على ألسنتنا، و عرفنا عنها اكثر مما عرفناه عن بلداننا، و كلهذا من أفلامهم و
مسلسلاتهم.....؟!؟!؟!
اصبحت الافلام و المسلسلات نافذة الشعوب للتعرف على الثقافات و الملامح لأي بلد او منطقة، و كانت التجربة المصرية على عيوبها مثمرة على الجانبين السياسي و الاقتصادي، فاصبحت مصر ام الدنيا و مقر الجامعة العربية و مصدر الالهام السياسي (طاح حظه) للدول العربية، كما انها اصبحت مصدر دخل مهم لإشباع شعبها، و هكذا اصبحت فيفي عبده اهم من رئيس الوزراء، و صارت حصانتها و القبر محد يقدر يشك ابرة صوبها......!!!
موضوعي ليس عن فيفي عبده و لا عن سبب اتجاه المغربيات و التونسيات للقاهرة علشان يغنون سلط ملط......!!!
الموضوع عن تجربة الكويت في هذا المجال...
لفترة طويلة، كانت الكويت العبو و المصدر الاوحد في صناعة الفن في شتى انواعه بالخليج، و كانت المسلسلات الكويتية محفوظة صم من قبل اخواننا الخليجيين والبعض ممن عاش في الكويت او الخليج يعشقونها حتى الآن (راح ارجع الاردن و معاي 30 مسرحية كويتية و 3 مسلسلات كلهم من قبل الغزو)....!!!
و سأتطرق لجانب اكثر تحديدا حتى لا اتشعب بالموضوع، المسلسلات الكويتية كانت دائما و ابدا مصدر فخر كويتي و كان ممثلوها نجوما يشار لهم بالبنان، لكن ظهرت على الساحة و منذ ما يقرب من 5 سنين نوعية مسلسلات مكسيكويتيسية عفست الاكو و الماكو و اعادت تعريف مصطلح المسلسلات السكة، سنة ورى سنة قمنا نشوف الزحف من الايام العادية و حتى اصبحت رمضانية بالتخصص، و غزت هذه المسلسلات رمضان و خربوه......!!! و صار شهر رمضان من مجرد شهر عبادة و صوم إلى شهر مناحة و هموم، انا واحد من الناس كرهت تلفزيونات رمضان و جو رمضان بالدول العربية و السبة ادمان الغلقة و ضيقة الخلق و البجي و الطراقات........!!!
هذه السنة لم تأت علينا فجر السعيد الا بزفت و ملاقة اكثر مما سبق، مسلسل الامبراطورة او البيتزا هت هي اخر نتاج افكار هذه الكاتبة الي الظاهر الفلوس عمتها عن التعرف على افلاسها الادبي فهي تصر على هذه النوعية من المسلسلات و ان ارادت ان تقص علينا و تصبغ المسلسل برائحة الاكشنة و لو كان بالمسلسل مشاهد سكس و تفجيرات لكان ذلك افضل....!!!
و اتمنى لو احد يفهمني من العاقل الي يلعب بوجه مثل منى عبدالمجيد......؟!؟!
ما راح اطول عليكم....
خلصت كلامي....

we gave a good presentation to the commety and they liked it and laughed alot while watching the movie....!!!

but here is the thing.....

after 12 hours of filming material, and many interviews, they told us to shrink the movie cause it's a short film festival....!!!

so right now the movie is 13 minutes and 5 seconds long.....!!! and it's goood really gooood....!!!
we are having a public screening on saturday at the RFC and they will tell us which film is the best so wish us luck.....!!!

I'll try to finish the subtitles as soon as I can, and finish the DVD.......!!!

I need a fucking break.....!!!



So I finished the filming process and for 2 weeks now, I have been working the fuck out in the edditing of the FILM, the good thing from that is that I get to burst my lungs from laughing, I need to get back to the RFC and I want to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.....!!!


this is my space working on the Avid, we had 11 dv tapes, and every one around us had only 2 or 3 at the most....?!?!

oh by the way this our logo thanks Omar and Faris, it's amazing....

enjoy the pics and when I return from my coma I'll post about the other days of shooting and the rest of the details, lots of pics and videos too.....!!!


this is Moayed, cute isn't he.....!!!

day 2& 3 of filming my movie.....!!!


Bu Maryoom and Lil alien are in the movie.......!!!

I took the liberty of adding them to the movie, sorry guy and creature for not asking your permissions, but I couldn't resist not sharing them with the world......!!!

any how I'll in exchange for your participation in the movie will provide you with limited edition DVD's....!!!



O.K. returning to the subject, for 2 straight days we were turtured by the filming process, although it was fun, actually insanely hilarious......!!!


here is Moayed hungry as hell, but still wanted to show his support for the orange rev. of kuwait, yasser on the other hand provided protection.....!!!

didn't laugh this much along time ago.....


Deena is preparing for her scene with Moayed, she's perfect for the role......!!!

so last monday was the 2 day of shooting, we managed to finish 5 scenes, how ever it was hard but at the same time enjoyable.....!!!




this is part of the party scene I took it with my intel cam while taking some of the conversations between the characters you'll see Yasser and Rasha then Mo, while giving the sound job to Moayed....!!!

we had fun with the extra, and one of them actually proved to be talanted so we had her as a victem in the party scene, but her voice was hardly heard..... we'll see if we need to record her voice once again.....!!!

the next day, we went to the office to shoot the Khattaba's scenes (that's me)......!!!
we had many takes, different angles for a some what short scene, I opened two bottles by my bare hands which was hell of a pain to do, I also smoked for the first time in my life, not one but 6 sticks of sigarettes (damn it was fucked up experience)......!!!

I didn't use make up at all, in fact I didn't shave my face (the rule is supposidly a strong manly woman).....!!! but I ended up looking like a female presenter in "JAAM EJAAM TV" (NO pictures will be posted only your imagination).....!!!

next friday will be the hardest day, shooting the street scene which is the wakiest, hardest, and longest.......!!!

wish us luck.......!!!

p.s. how the hell can I add a youtube clip in the post.....?!?!

day one of film shooting.....!!!


friday, 14th of july 2006, 10:30 a.m ......

the team gathered at Hardees's Madinah street, we had lot's of things to finish before shooting which was scheduled to be at 3:30 p.m, Deena (my assistant director and the protagonist of the movie) over did her self by personally making the costumes and head bands (طرحة) or garments for the brides, and the guy's costumes.....!!!

the wigs were an issue since they were don't leese them, but we managed to obtain 4 (they cost around 20-30 J.D each) and one of them was soon labelled as the "Judy Abbot wig" so don't be shocked Judy.....!!!

couldn't post the pics due to vulgarity......!!!



the bride of this scene or vatreena girl (Rasha my lazy producer, the vatrina girl on the right) gave me headache before the shooting but she came and pulled one for the team, and I thank her for doing the best of her as both acting and producing for the first time......!!!



we faced a problem with the sun and lighting was a bitch, but we managed to finda way to shoot the scene at the cost of Deema (on the left) not clearly shown due to the flare......!!!

in here deena (the mom, amazingly managed to look much older than she really is)

jaodat here is preparing to wrap rasha in newspaper......!!!


it was fantastic, and the crew found out the hard task of filming in close contact, great job every one and this thing is gonna be hysterically funny.....!!!
I leave you with the pics.....

the girls from left to right: rasha, deema, deena... the guys from left to right: mohammad, yasser, mo'ayad, jaodat, and the director......!!!
