SUHA is a short film, which depicts the life of a young graffiti writer as she marks her way through Montreal’s graffiti art sub-culture. SUHA’s diaristic accounts unfold through her self-discovering narration which is delivered as a soliloquy unbeknown to her. We are currently developing a feature length version of SUHA and our progress can be followed on this blog. Enjoy! Tumblr (3.0; @suhafilm)http://www.suhafilm.com/<p>Hello and thank you for your question about my film. I named the character in my after a song by a grab band called XIU XIU. They have a song named SUHA and although the song is about an entirely different situation I somehow thought it would be a nice way to pay homage to a wonderful band that has filled me with much inspiration.</p> <p>You should check out <a href="http://www.myspace.com/xiuxiuforlife">XIU XU</a>, they are amazing musicians and great people. I was also lucky enough to have them compose some music for my first documentary called <a href="http://vimeo.com/16073150">FEEDING THE RAGING HEART</a>. Hope this answers your question…</p>http://www.suhafilm.com/post/16137948173http://www.suhafilm.com/post/16137948173Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:13:48 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsylegmmkL1qh61g0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>SUHA then and now…photos by <a href="http://adrienbaudet.com/">ADRIEN BAUDET</a> & ROBBY REIS.</p>http://www.suhafilm.com/post/11355498118http://www.suhafilm.com/post/11355498118Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:23:04 -0400FRIENDSPHOTOS<p>The entire sound track of the film was written by two friends of mine Alex and Neville…</p>http://www.suhafilm.com/post/9383170449http://www.suhafilm.com/post/9383170449Thu, 25 Aug 2011 15:17:50 -0400<p>Dearest friends and collaborators, SUHA is up for nomination at the <a href="http://sandiegoindiefest.com/">SAN DIEGO INDIEFEST</a> for the Audience Choice Prize!
