.SOLO - Passion Film — Karim Shaaban

.SOLO - Poetic Film

This film is a visual portrayal of an ever-evolving city, taking on new faces and forms from the layers of narratives that have shaped it. We see three characters born of it, each interacting, adapting, and altered by this metamorphosis in their ways. Through their nature and personalities, we experience the city's different energies and how it, as a fundamental part of this whole dynamic, influences and inhabits our psyche and drives us in different ways.

'.SOLO' is a passion project I produced alongside my buddy Fawzi Darwish (also the DOP of this film).

We decided to carry out this project to seek a new challenge both visually and conceptually.

I'm honored to work alongside Fawzi and such a diverse, dedicated and talented team of professionals in all fields.

We shot this project on film. We chose 16mm, as the perfect medium for our story, and we used Kodak 16mm 100ft spools. We shot around 1800ft/548.64m of film sto. We used 50D, 200T, and 500T Vision 3.
