Some roughly graded & ungraded stills from "Little Arabia, Next Exit", a UCLA thesis EP & written-directed by
@el_majusi
It was a blast for me to work on this film as the cinematographer! Genuinely missed those meetings from 10pm to 4am in the morning where the director and I got to brainstorm story and visuals in a state of near insanity and the insurmountable drive the whole team had trying to grab the shot before the daylight died out 🥹
