“Here’s the literal definition of “art cinema”: Usama Alshaibi’s short piece ‘My Third Painting,’ which plays like a cross between Jackson Pollock, traditional glass plane animation, and a phone call from your drug dealer. You know, part horror movie, part abstract expressionism”.-By Mike Everleth from Bad Lit

“Is terrorism inside all of us? A paradox of fear and awareness… and through that a kind of relief. “-Usama Alshaibi
