Nice Bombs, the Artvamp, and Benzfilm Group documentary, directed by Usama Alshaibi, enjoyed a sold out premiere at the Music Box Theater in August 2006, as a part of the Chicago Underground Film Festival.

It is due to be released this summer at selected theaters around the U.S. Keep an eye open for future announcements.


open casting call

Kristie and Usama Alshaibi are always looking for models for their various photography projects, including solaranus.com and noisydaughter.com, as well as print work, fashion work, and short experimental films and videos.

We prefer models with no tattoos (or few that are easily hidden). We are not particular about any specific body type, shape, size, or ethnicity, as long as the model has a look we find interesting.

Models should feel free to contact us us the e-mails below and send pics, or a link to an on-line portfolio.

To view our work, refer to the link on our respective profiles posted on this site:
