Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to present The Toy Store by me, Frshta. Let me know what you think? After two months, the summer of 2011 was over, and here were the results of my Summer of intense learning about filmmaking. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/s1RwaJYqDew Cheers, Frshta
#252 dabble
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, the hadith outlines the story of a Bedouin man who was leaving his camel without tying it. The Prophet (PBUH) asked him “Why don't you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in Allah.” The Prophet then replied, “Tie your camel first and then put your trust in…
Bla Bla Land : Chapter 27
Wow, ICF was finally coming to an end. Tal, one of the assistants, threw a prop which she called morp. Prom spelled backward is morp. Stephanya Morp! I didn't attend prom back in high school so I was excited. Tal's house was ten minutes from my place. It was going to be an 80s theme…
#251 catch up
Patys. This is a catch-up post. Yesterday, September 20,2022 at 9:57am, my niece was born. Her name is Yasna. What a blessing she is. So many different emotions honestly, but overall, it was a special day. I met her today. She is perfect. Being an aunt has been a such blessing. It has made me…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 25
The night I got on the freeway. Other than my own short film, I worked on my other team members' films. One of the memorable shoots was with my teammate, Gawby. I was the producer on the shoot. We shot in Santa Monica and third street. We went to this cafe in Lincoln Heights. We…

I always sleep too late and then I am exhausted in the mornings. I am sleepy but I must write this blog. The video I shared is from Nouman Ali, and this…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 22
Team A during our pitch meeting. I had to come up with a script. It was to be three minutes long with no dialogues. Essentially, it was a silent movie. I had to keep in mind the limitations that I had in terms of budget. There was no budget. Each student had two days to…
#246 expressing myself
Dear God, I need to express myself and it is easiest through writing right now. My fingers ache, my legs ache and my lower back aches. My eyes feel strained and my face feels stiff. I am tired. The last three days have been wild. LAUSD started on Monday. My first assignment is a first…
