Project By
Connected as Dahkil Hausif (1866 friends)
Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is home to Daoud Abeid and Dahkil Hausif, founders of Sunshowah Films. Abeid and Hausif formed Sunshowah in the year 2000 out of a need to counteract the one-dimensional images depicting urban life in the American film culture. Combining Syracuse University film educations with street knowledge and a passion for hip-hop culture, the two have written, directed, executive produced and edited three short films: the 2008 production, “Shades of Brooklyn Vol. 1”, “Eye Jammy (2006) ” and "rev' o. lu, shun" (2001). Following in the subversive traditions of independent filmmakers the likes of Spike Lee, Haile Gerima, Akira Kurosawa & the Cohen Brothers, Sunshowah Films highlights and explores the conflicts and contradictions that play a part in the lives of everyday people.
Following the successful run of “Shades of Brooklyn Vol. 1” on HBO and Cinemax (2009-2011), the Sunshowah team have gone on to write 3 feature films, including “…The Harder They Fall”, which is in pre-production and slated to start shooting in the fall.
