HappyQ8 – Spreading positivity, joy in Kuwait

An interview with Filmmaker & Editor Mohammad Al Saeed.

WEORITU (pronounced Where To?) recently released a video #HappyQ8 aimed at spreading positivity and happiness in Kuwait. The video, filmed with an all local crew, shows various locations around Kuwait and people of all backgrounds (locals, expatriates, young, old, women and men) dancing and having fun to Happy, the Pharrell Williams song from Despicable Me 2. We spoke with Mohammad Al Saeed, the writer and editor of the film about its creation.

You can watch the video #HappyQ8 on Youtube.

KT: Can you tell us first a bit about yourself?

Mohammad: I’m an MA Filmmakng graduate from Goldsmiths College, University of London. My memory of falling in love with filmmaking was when I used to curl up on my dad’s couch and watch his favorite movies as a kid. Watching movies exhilarated me and that little fire inside of me grew exponentially as I grew older. I borrowed my first camera from my parents and created random “TV Show specials” that my cousins and I came up with. I’m 29 now and that same passion still strongly exists.
