Who am I?
My name is Deen Hussein and I believe in Film. Ever since I was a child I grew up with film. For Christmas one year, my parents gave my brother and I their old video camera. It was on it's way out, tape holding in the batteries, a cracked screen; we all had one of these! My brother and I were fascinated with it and got to work straight away. We started with stop motion, making plasticine models and coming up with simple story lines just to give us something to film. We did this for a while and eventually moved on to making our own mockumentary of a news channel. We ended up getting all of our friends on our road involved and we made weekly news reports in a comedic fashion. We did this for a couple of years until we reached secondary school whereby we forgot about the camera and got on with school life.
Years later, my love for motion picture was rekindled when I purchased my first DSLR camera and started photography, eventually moving on to make videos. I started by making music videos for an upcoming rapper in my school year and made a couple more videos for him and other rappers. This was my way of getting my foot in the industry, however, I knew making music videos wasn't where I wanted to be. I wanted to tell stories and evoke emotion from my audience. So I started by telling the story of my Summer 2015. From here I started producing videos of the holidays I went on, Christmas Day, vlog's of events I attended etc. and before I knew it, Film had become my life.

Hobbies.
In my spare time, I enjoy doing photography, some of which can be seen here. I also produce music which can be seen on my Soundcloud. One of my favourite things to do is write reviews, critiques and just general articles based on my feelings surrounding films, trailers and anything else I find interesting.
