Sayyed Muhammad also known as

I've been in this business since 2005, I've worked in the industry as a writer, even sold a screenplay, and am in process of selling another. I've been trained as a cinematographer, by D. Gracia and Sergio Herrara, learned Editing from editing greats such as Lauren Adams, Jennifer Smith and Nick Roers, film industry editors and was certified recently as an editor by Comcast and PhillyCam.org (a Division of Comcast). I learned directing and producing by interning for 3 years with BrownBag Pictures and Warner Brother Studios. Was taught Production finance and management by Ron A. Gregg & Associates, and Dwan Brown of Brown Bag Pictures.
My Production experience and work is a variety of genre work, from Commercials, promos, web promos, Live performances, music videos, films, TV shows, still ads, Show and film intros, and outdo, film and show audio mixing, special effects sound mixing, scene music mixing, film scores and mix arrangements for audio in films or shows.
I taught Video Production Management Temple University from 2007 - 2014. I did this for free and the University's resources, while I earned my LLM in Intellectual Property Law, and taught over 186 film graduates that time.

FILMS
There are 2 films unfortunately I cannot show you, they are films paid for by an investor whom I have Film Festival agreements with. The investors don't want them shown to anyone, However, there are those I can share, below.
also a small note, most of my links on youtube are "UNLISTED" I don't put media on youtube to gain "views" youtube for me is just another hard drive that saves space on my harddrive.
LONG WAY FROM CUBA
Short Film (about 22 min in length) about a DEA agent after a slippery Killer (Omillio Sparks) , who has created an attenuate (cuts cocaine) that cuts cocaine 10 times over all substances used. A bounty on Sparks head because he refuses to sell the formula to a dangerous Colombian drug lord, however Sparks kills off those who accepts the job, and just when the DEA gets really close is when the real damage begins.
I must mention, This short film was filmed in 2008 but my hard drive was destroyed and the film was lost but recently, the guy who color corrected the film for me, had all but 11 scenes still in his hard drive, so I put together what I had, and the film won at Bridgeport film festival.

STILL
This film I wrote, produced and managed but was Directed by my student Stephen Litten. I was inspired to write this from an old TWILIGHT ZONE show, sith a man who comes face to face with HIMSELF at a GreyHound bus station. I always hated the way it ended, so I created my own scenario, using a woman and instead of out in the public, where you are safe, I take it right to you, In your home.
STILL (11 minutes in length)
LARRY'S DEAD (6:32 in length) film link below
https://youtu.be/tXMCTOl_ITs
This film 'LARRY'S DEAD" is a short film is a simple lesson learner. When you plot, sometimes there is a counter. This film was a simple practice that also won at the film festival, but was never meant for that, Myself and another young director showed up at a friends house with my camera, no lights, a short script, called over a few other friends, gave them 20 minutes to study their lines, then we shot it one take. The idea was to see if people would like it still, although minimum effort was put into it. I learned allot in this practice, especially about myself.
REALITY SHOW TEST link below

This was for a show that never happened, the promo was directed by me, my cinematographer was D. Garcia and edit by me.
BLACK CEASE IN CRIME WAVE This film shot in February of 2010 was done on spec for the Rapper 50 CENTS. At the time, "Black Cease"the rap artists had been a feature on %) Cent's single, we did the short film, and about 2 years later he gave me $5K for the file. At this time, I was experimenting with sound and creating my own sound identity. Wasn't terrific here, but soon after (about 5 years) I had become an amazing sound editor.

"PERCS The America Affect" (just 15 minutes of the documentary) The film is ending a short distribution termed being recut and expanded to be shown to a larger distributor, so unfortunately I cannot expose the entire film to you, but here is 15 minutes of it, which in the recut process, will be different as well.
