I’m back! My first blog post of 2016! Let’s do the Sturridge… Wait… what? Oh yes… I haven’t blogged all year. Oops. Sorry everyone. My ONLY blog post of 2016. Technically that isn’t true though, I did write one blog post this year. It just wasn’t published on my website. More on that later… I’ve got to say, […]
Here we go again. Another annual review. My seventh actually. A great opportunity to reflect on a rollercoaster twelve months. As rollercoaster rides come, this has been quite a thrilling one. Sometimes a thriller doesn’t quite go the way you want it to. We’ve all seen a crazy game of football littered with goals – some may recall Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Newcastle United in […]
Thursday 29th October 2015. Destination Manchester. Cambridge to Deansgate… journey time approximately 4.5 hours? Yes, it was VERY long and there was an eleven minute delay leaving from London Euston, which had a knock-on effect for the rest of the journey. Despite that, I arrived at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate Hotel on time and looked forward to what was […]

Greetings! No, this isn’t the title of my latest film. Sounds bold and epic though right? The Rise of Ramadan Roundup 4. Dare you to say that in a serious American voice. You know, the voice you hear in movie trailers. Yes, you know it. That’s it, treat yourself to a doughnut. Unless you are fasting of […]

It has been shortlisted alongside three other entries under the Freefall category. The Limelight Film Awards is an annual short film competition. It is a […]
Wednesday 11th February 2015. I was at the Hackney Empire in London to attend the UK premiere of American Sharia, a Muslim comedy film by director, writer, comedian and actor Omar Regan. Talk about being multi-talented! I arrived early and was one of the first people in the queue by the front door. As time passed, the line grew larger and […]
On 28 July 2014, a North American-based online magazine published a review on the Ramadan Roundup series! Visit the link below to read the article by Pavani Yalamanchili, editor of The Aerogram. theaerogram.com/ramadan-round-ups
I talked about Ramadan Roundup in page 52 of this week’s edition of Weekly Desh, a bilingual British Bangladeshi weekly newspaper distributed around the UK.
Here we are then. I may as well keep this short and sweet. “Ibrahim is back for the biggest episode of the Ramadan Roundup series so far! This year’s instalment gives food for thought and features interviews with those who observe the month of fasting. Ibrahim also provides an update and historical analysis on the New […]
