info_outlineIn this episode we speak to Hadi Mousally who is a multiple award winning hybrid film director and fashion artivist against injustice.
Born and raised in Lebanon, Hadi shares his journey from obscurity, via mathematics and engineering, before backing himself and taking a leap of faith into the film and fashion industries.
In 2014 in Paris, Hadi was shunned as an unknown creative artist - He was told he was a ‘no-one’.
How he has risen from those humble beginnings to become a respected, international award winning, and in his words, a HYBRID artist who is firmly in touch with his identity, is revealed in this extended edition episode, that was so captivating that even after editing, we’ve run over-time to the 50 minute mark!
We start this episode with a 1 minute silence. This is in respect of Hadi’s Lebanese origins and the people of Beirut, who suffered greatly on the 4th of August 2020 after a stockpile of ammonium nitrate exploded to devastating effect, resulting in at least 157 deaths, 5000 injuries, and some 300k people left homeless.
