----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTOR: Salah Zouaghi
Today Salah Zouaghi owns his own production company, but he already started to receive attention as a film student at Palm Beach Film School through the making of his film "Tolerance," which has received acclaim for its timely content and poignant acting.
He worked on a short film called "The Other Woman," directed by Linda Reichers and starring Keri Lurtz (read story about Keri under FORUM) for a contest at the Delray Beach Film Festival. Check out this trailer. Look at the excellent spot color usage (not a technical term)!
Zouaghi filmed “Tolerance” in its entirety in only 10 hours, using the Sony V1U Camera, but spent 50 hours editing. If he had the chance to shoot it again, he would have used a second camera to capture the shot. He also would have added footage of the accident itself with additional angles. With the time allotted, he focused on the hospital drama.
His company has also filmed another short film called “Finding Nino,” a short drama about a man in his 40s who lives with his mother and as he searches for a young child, the audience realizes that he is really searching for himself. The film was selected as number 20 out of numerous entries from over five countries for You Tube and Fox Searchlight’s short film contest.
