Ibrahim’s Review of 2016
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, […]
Ibrahim’s Review of 2015
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 […]
Asian Media Awards 2015
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 […]
The Road to Manchester
No. I have not become a Manchester City fan. Neither do I support that other club that is within close proximity to them. Don’t even go there. Liverpool FC through and through. Jürgen Klopp – welcome to Anfield! Anyway, this blog post is not about football so let’s move on. Since the Limelight Film Awards took place in June, the last […]
The Rise of Ramadan Roundup 4
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 […]
The Nomination
Greetings! I have some great news to share with you all… Last Wednesday, I received an email confirming that my short film, Ramadan Roundup 4, has been nominated for the Limelight Film Awards 2015! 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 […]
The American Sharia Experience
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 […]
The Everyday Muslim Symposium
Welcome to my first blog post of 2015! It’s good to be back and blogging away once more. January has been quite an interesting month for me, and I am here to write about a wonderful event I was part of last weekend. My mother, Shahida Rahman, was invited to speak at the Everyday Muslim Symposium, held at the Bishopsgate Institute in […]
Ibrahim’s Review of 2014
It’s that time of year again. The time when I turn around 180 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise and immerse myself with flashbacks. Whoa, that was bright! Oh, that was just me being dazzled by a car’s headlights. How can I be looking at a car’s headlights when I am supposed to be looking at my computer and focusing […]
